The Stewart Society Archive Benevolents Fund
Since 1910 The Society has operated a special fund which is now a registered charity. Called The Stewart Society Benevolent Fund, it aims to assist Students and other young Stewarts with their studies and careers and to give help financial or otherwise.
The Fund is permitted by its Rules to give preferential treatment to Members of The Society and their relatives.
A special relationship has been developed with the University of St. Andrews (in Fife, Scotland) by which Stewart undergraduates and post-graduates attending that university may receive Bursary Awards (currently worth about £200 per year for any one student) under the Stewart-St. Andrews Bursary Awards scheme. Whenever resources permit in the future, it is intended to widen the educative side of the Benevolent Fund's work.
