The Charles Wallace India Trust (CWIT) is an art, heritage conservation and humanities scholarship fund.

The awards, which are generally from 2–3 months up to a maximum of a year, cover accommodation and living costs in the UK, fees and a contribution to international fares.

The applicant should:

• be an Indian citizen living in India
• be aged between 25 and 38
• have a first degree, diploma or professional qualification in their specialization. CWIT prefers applicants with significant working experience
• have not received a CWIT grant within the last five years.
