The Charles Colvington Trust

The Charles Colvington Trust was formed to assist Manx Post Graduate students to participate in educational courses at the UN Offices Geneva.

The Colvington Trust may assist up to three eligible Isle of Man students each year who accept offers of internship from the UN Geneva office. Funding will assist in covering travel and accommodation costs only, up to a maximum value of £3000 per applicant, and also for a maximum of three months.
