Its next [funding application](http://www.themasontrust.org/funding/funding-for-individuals/)
deadline is 5^(th) June.

 

The Trust recently supported an engineering student, Cameron McKie (pictured), by
providing a grant towards the cost of books for his course at Brown University in
the US, and also by sourcing a summer work placement at [SafeSTS](http://www.safests.com/),
an international lightering company which is one of a group of companies founded
by Yvonne Mason.

 

The Trust also works with schools and places of further education to forge stronger
links between education and industry, to give students the widest choice when deciding
on a career.
