Welcome

The purpose of The Frederick Bonnart-Braunthal Trust is to “establish and maintain scholarships at universities in the United Kingdom for research at the postgraduate level into the nature of racial, religious and cultural intolerance with a view to finding a means to combat it”.

The Trust was established by Freddy Bonnart-Braunthal in 2001. Following his death in 2008, the bulk of his estate was left to the Trust.

Currently the Trust supports students at the London School of Economics and University College, London. It is possible that at some point relationships will be developed with other institutions, but not in the short term.

The purpose of this website is to provide information on the background and focus of the Trust. Beneficiaries are selected and scholarships administered by the LSE and UCL from whom more information can be obtained.

In addition the Trust plans to create a network of FBB Scholars who will, via the website and through other communications and meetings, be able to share ideas and experience, in particular about the challenges and opportunities for addressing the question of the means to combat intolerance that was integral to the vision of the Founder of the Trust.

The Trust is a registered UK Charity (number 1094967) and is administered by six volunteer trustees.
