THE BRITISH SCHOLARSHIP TRUST (BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA, CROATIA, MACEDONIA, MONTENEGRO, SERBIA) 

We give grants to support students from the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo & Serbia) who wish to further their studies by visiting the UK
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
