The Phiroz Mehta Scholarship
From the Editor
The Phiroz Mehta Trust in the past year has received a generous legacy from the estate of the late Mr. Peter Burrell. It has been decided that the Trust cannot do better with part of the legacy than to fund a student for one year for a Master’s course in the Traditions of Yoga and Meditation at SOAS, University of London.
The Scholarship will be known as The Phiroz Mehta Scholarship at SOAS, and will commence in September.
SOAS (the School of Oriental and African Studies) has students from over 130 countries, and religious studies have been integral to its teaching and research for more than 100 years. Their lecturers have great knowledge and experience of the world’s major religious traditions.
It is felt by the Trustees that Phiroz would have approved of this use of the legacy, which should be of great value to the student selected, and should also be of benefit to the Trust.
