Further information

The Beit Trust was established in 1906 by the will of Mr Alfred Beit, a financier and a director of the British South Africa Company. The Trust initially existed solely to create railways in Northern and Southern Rhodesia, but was later reconstituted to benefit education, health, welfare and the environment in Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zambia. 

Find out more about the work of the Beit Trust in education.

The Beit Strathclyde (BStrath) Scholarships were set up in 2016 to attract and select Engineering students from Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe who demonstrate the greatest potential to become leaders, decision-makers and opinion-formers in their home countries.
