THE SHELL CENTENARY SCHOLARSHIP FUND 

TSCSF pilots programmes focusing on leadership education initiatives which deliver support to the emerging generation of future leaders. These pilots of potential programmes have led to the successful identification of a number of partners to further the charitable objects of TSCSF.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board composition appears to be very static

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 and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • This charity appears to be dormant
