Our Mission
The David and Jayne Paterson Educational Trust was established in the belief that education is the most efficient method of improving the welfare of all countries and all families. The basis of all human improvement begins with education. The Trust, which is established for the promotion of education, contributes to this belief by providing scholarships to study at UK universities or other educational institutions. In particular, the Trust provides financial assistance to students from the People’s Republic of China who wish to study law overseas and who intend to return to the PRC to teach or practise Law. Currently the Trust provides students with scholarships to study for one of the following courses at the University of Oxford: MJur, BA in Jurisprudence, MSc Law and Finance, MPhil in Law or DPhil in Law.
Objectives of the Trust
David and Jayne Paterson established the Trust whose objectives are:
Donations and Funding
The Trustees recognise that the objectives of the Trust are dependent on the amount of funding available. It has been very encouraging that the Faculty of Law at Oxford has so generously increased the value of the scholarships by providing £10,000 for each scholarship awarded by the Trust. It is hoped these funds will continue to be provided in the future.
The Trust has now been granting scholarships since 1998 - a full 28 years in scholarships and contributions to summer school programs. It has always been hoped that additional funds could be raised from third parties and the Trustees are hopeful that past scholars may be able to provide funds themselves or will introduce potential donors to help the Trustees in their objectives.
It has, therefore, been most encouraging that one former scholar has generously made an appreciable donation to the Trust in furtherance of its objectives.
The Trustees would be delighted to hear from former scholars, and others, if they consider they may be able to introduce potential donors.
