| Description | Files regarding individual scholarships, prizes etc. awarded by the Trust which now appear to be defunct. The files generally contain papers regarding the formation of the scholarships, trust deeds, and later amendments. Unless otherwise stated, these files do not general contain information on pupils who were awarded the scholarships. There are also a few files regarding general gifts or endowments presented to Trust schools which are not related to scholarships etc. These have been retained in this series as they appear to have been originally filed in this order. There is very little information on the pupils who were awarded prizes/scholarships before 1969.
Early single school prizes appear to have been held by the individual schools and the interschools prizes were held by the Trust. From the 1930s many of the existing single school prizes were endowed to the Trust by trust deed and many new prizes appear to have been directed endowed to the Trust. Initially the prizes appear to have been generated by bequests or funds raised by or for the schools. From the 1950s/1960s many prizes were generated by deeds of covenant, where the donor promised to pay a set amount for a set number of years. Many of these prizes were renewed during the life time of the donor and were later endowed to the Trust on death. |
