United World Colleges you say? Lol.. I've just been working on this...

Schlumberger Foundation https://www.slb.com/about/foundation/about_foundation.aspx

Since its inception the Foundation has focused on funding a variety of programs in scientific education all over the world:

  • University Endowments were established over a 23 year period starting in 1976 to finance Chairs at Rice and MIT in the United States and Cambridge in the United Kingdom, to name just a few.

  • In 2003 the Foundation became a sponsoring partner with “Africa Array” established to create new geo-scientific research and training programs and rebuild existing ones in Africa with Africans for Africans.

  • In 2005 “Lab in a Lorry” got under way as a joint initiative with the Institute of Physics bringing the opportunity to young people to explore science through hands-on experiments and attracting over 1,000 volunteers from the scientific world to share their knowledge.

  • From 2005-2007 the Foundation had a partnership with United World Colleges (UWC) to fund students from disadvantaged backgrounds with an interest and talent in science to study at UWC colleges. A total of 21 students graduated from this program.
