Laidlaw Foundation
The Laidlaw Foundation invests in the education of the underprivileged and underrepresented in order to break the cycle of poverty, reduce inequality and develop a new generation of leaders. We currently supports 4 major programmes: + Laidlaw Schools Trust – a growing multi-academy trust founded to transform the lives of children and communities in the North of England, through inspirational education. http://laidlawschoolstrust.com/ + Laidlaw Undergraduate Research and Leadership Scholarship – an international programme supporting undergraduates in 12 top universities around the world, designed to develop a new generation of leaders who are skilled researchers, embrace data-based decision making, and believe it is a moral imperative to lead with integrity. https://laidlawscholars.network/ + Women’s Business Education Laidlaw Scholars – an initiative to ensure that we have more women on executive and non-executive boards globally. By investing in extraordinary women to gain their MBAs, the Foundation intends to give women the education and networks to achieve equal representation and power. To date, we have helped nearly 300 women at Columbia Business School and are just beginning a Women’s Movement programme with both London Business School and Oxford’s Saïd Business School, providing full and half scholarships to women who would not otherwise be in a position to reap the benefits of attending these outstanding schools. https://laidlawfoundation.com/women-in-leadership/ + Buildings at schools and universities designed to help students excel, such the Laidlaw Music Centre at the University of St. Andrews, and the Laidlaw Library at Leeds University, with more buildings currently in development. https://laidlawfoundation.com/buildings/ The Irvine Laidlaw Foundation is a charity registered in England, charity number 1175245.
