The Trust was founded in 1961 by A S Hornby, an English Language Teaching (ELT) specialist best known for producing the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary , published by Oxford University Press. To this day we are funded by royalties from the dictionary and from related products, as well as by income from a professionally-managed investment portfolio.

The chief object of the A S Hornby Educational Trust, as laid down in its Trust Deed, is to promote the teaching and learning of English as a Foreign Language, especially by providing scholarships and grants. Since 1961, the Trust has supported the professional development of a significant number of teachers in the Global South via individual scholarships to study on MA programmes in the UK (the ‘Hornby Scholars’ scheme), regional schools (‘Hornby Schools’) and via small-scale project funding to alumni and to Teacher Associations.
