2025 EDT Tim Morris Award for Low or Middle-income Countries (Up to £2,000)
Education Development Trust’s Tim Morris Award offers £2,000 financial support to a PhD student in the field of general education to support field research in a low- or low-middle income country.
Tim Morris (1982-2012) was dedicated to providing education to those less fortunate in the low-income countries.
As a key player in CfBT’s Business Development department (now Education Development Trust’s Development Centre), Tim was instrumental in designing and providing education and employment opportunities for the world’s most disadvantaged people.
Tim’s experience in international education and economics led to the completion of his Masters in Educational Planning, Economics and International Development at the Institute of Education.
Tim’s dream was to use this foundation to launch his career on aid projects in the developing world.
However, Tim was just 29 when his life was tragically cut short by cancer. His unwavering passion and dedication to improve education for public benefit worldwide is why CfBT Education Trust set up the Tim Morris Award in his name.
While Tim is now unable to continue working to help those most in need, this legacy will continue to make a difference.
