The Charles Wallace India Trust (CWIT) is an arts, heritage conservation and humanities scholarship fund.
It enables Indians in the early or middle stages of their careers to spend time in the UK, helping to achieve
their artistic, professional or academic ambitions and make wider international contacts.
Who was Charles Wallace?
Charles Wallace was born in Calcutta in 1855. He lived, worked and flourished there, founding the Shaw
Wallace company ( though there are no connections between CWIT and the contemporary Shaw Wallace).
Charles Wallace died in 1916, bequeathing his modest fortune to his family for a generation and then for the
benefit of those among whom he had made it.
