SCIENCES PO ALUMNI UK CHARITY TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022

The Trustees submit their annual report, together with the accounts of the Charity, for the year ended 5 April 2022. The accounts comply with current statutory requirements and are in the format prescribed by the Charities Commission Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102).

Objective and activities for the public benefit

The object of the Trust is to advance education, in particular but not exclusively, by financially supporting students wishing to study through one of the Sciences Po programmes, Sciences Po being a leading university for teaching and research in social sciences. Another means to advance education is by the provision and assistance in the provision of facilities at Sciences Po.

During the financial year ended 5 April 2022, the Trust has carried out these objects by financing scholarships to individuals on the basis of both outstanding academic results and strained financial resources, previously selected by Sciences Po, and:

For each one of the receiving students of the Assia de Juniac, the Roger Seydoux, and the King’s College awards, access to Sciences Po-LSE and the Sciences Po-King’s College double master’s degrees – for which they had been selected by the universities – would not have been possible without the scholarship. The scholarships create opportunities to the beneficiaries by allowing them access to a year of study at Sciences Po in Paris and a year of study either at the London School of Economics and Political Science in London, or at the King’s College in London. They also contribute to Sciences Po’s, the LSE’s and the King’s College’s reputation by making it possible for three outstanding students to follow their double master’s degree.

Allocations of funds towards specific education projects at Sciences Po were also decided by the Trustees of the Charity, as follows:

SCIENCES PO ALUMNI UK CHARITY TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022

Structure, Governance and Management

The trust is a registered charity, number 1128839, and is constituted under a Trust Deed dated 4 March 2009.

Trustees are appointed for a term of two years by a resolution of the trustees passed at a special meeting. The Trust Deed provides for a minimum of three trustees.

Trustees meet or correspond, especially by email, on a regular basis. Minutes are drafted and executed by the trustees to keep record of the decisions met.

Plans for the Future

The Trustees are seeking for adequate application of the Trust’s income. The policy is not to create an endowment fund. Therefore, it is expected within the next twelve months that:

Trustees Induction and Training

The Trustees look for suitable candidates to join the Board who can bring experience and expertise relevant to the charity’s objectives. New Trustees are invited to join the Board by the existing Chairman following consultations with existing Trustees. This method of recruitment enables the Board to assess the future contribution and effectiveness of each new member.

The Trustee designate is then supplied with a welcome pack containing information covering all aspects of Sciences Po Alumni UK Charity Trust’s work. They will have access to the Trust Deed and history of Sciences Po Alumni UK Charity Trust, annual reports and accounts and a brief overview of all key policies relating to the Board and the organisation.

The Trustee designate must then attend a meeting with the Trustees who will familiarise the Trustee with all the activities within the charity.

Related Party Transactions & Conflict of Interest

In accordance with charity policy, on joining the board, Trustees must declare any interests that may conflict with their ability to act appropriately in their role as Trustee. If a conflict of interest should arise, they will be required to withdraw from any related decision-making situations.

Risk Management

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established procedures to manage those risks.

Facing students’ financial needs underestimation

Our major operational risk is the extent to which students awards successfully advance education of those students and especially that their budgets are realistic, and they don’t drop out of their studies or fall behind their potential for financial reasons. The trustees manage this risk by working closely with Sciences Po Paris’s team in charge of the United Kingdom programmes and monitoring

the awarded students during the two years of the Sciences Po-LSE and the Sciences Po-King’s College master’s degrees.

The 2021 awards were allocated to three outstanding students: Ms Mounia El Khawand (Assia de Juniac award, £16,500), Ms. Noemi Capelli (Roger Seydoux award, £9,000), and Mr Ms. Louise Masson (King’s College Award, £10,000). After completing their first year of the double degree programme in Paris, they are completing their school year at the LSE and the King’s College starting fall 2022. Scholarships are to be paid directly to the LSE and the King’s College during their 2022-2023 school year.

Trustee Remuneration and Expenses

Trustees give their time freely with no remuneration paid during the year. However, expenses incurred whilst operating on behalf of the charity can be paid to the Trustees, primarily to cover their travel and subsistence costs. There have been no such expenses for the year ended 5 April 2022.
