The Awards Scheme

The OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AWARD is given to mark the Company’s recognition of a Welsh person who has achieved pre-eminence in his or her sphere.

The ACHIEVEMENT AWARD is intended to encourage and recognise a Welsh person who is mid-career and has already achieved rather more than their peers but will probably rise to greater heights in due course.

The BRYAN MARSH GOLD DEVELOPMENT AWARD is an award of £5,000 given to a Welsh person, generally under the age of 30, of demonstrated ability who presents a proposal which will permit development of his or her career or business.

The SILVER JUBILEE DEVELOPMENT AWARD is to enable an outstanding young person, who has graduated from an academic institution or qualified with a professional body, to further their academic or professional development by undertaking an innovative project or participating in a high level course or conference, preferably with an international element. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a commitment to Wales.

TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIPS are principally aimed at graduate and post-graduate students to enable them to further their careers and to develop their talents by undertaking a project or further study abroad.

The Scholarship

The Worshipful Livery Company of Wales (the Company) was established in 1993 to promote the arts, science and technology in Wales and in particular for the development of the skills and professional competences within these activities. The Company aims to do this mainly through an Awards Programme which includes a limited number of Travel Scholarships with a value up to £250.

Purpose

This Travel Scholarship is to enable recipients – often, but not necessarily, post graduate early career researchers – to travel to present a paper on their research findings at the Paediatric, Work and Physiology Conference in Chepstow in September 2023. Their specific research project should significantly assist in furthering their careers and enhance and develop their talents.

Criteria and Qualifications

All applicants should be young researchers who have Welsh credentials by reason of birth, residence, education or work location. In the case of those university students who may only be studying in Wales, discretion will be exercised and further commitment to Wales will be sought.

Application

Attached to the completed Form should be a proposal (up to 500 words) outlining the applicant’s research project. Awards will be selected on the basis of excellence and judging criteria will include:

• Scientific novelty and importance of work

• Technical and methodological achievements of the study

• Clarity and accuracy of presentation and illustration

• Clear demonstration of a substantial personal contribution by the applicant

It should also detail what the expected benefits to their career and to Wales would be from winning of this Award. This proposal should also include an itinerary and indicative budget (travel, daily subsistence etc).

Scholarship Award winner

This Award will be made to the winning applicants on confirmation that their research study project has been accepted as a Standard 10 minute presentation to be made at the Paediatric, Work and Physiology Conference UK in September 2023.

It is a condition of the Award that, on return, the recipient submits a short written report, guidance on which will be provided. This will enable The Company to maintain a comprehensive record of Travel Scholarship Award winners and to produce summaries for inclusion in the Company Bulletin. Scholarship winners will be entitled to include the phrase “Winner of a Welsh Livery Company of Wales Travel Scholarship” in their CV.
Winners are also asked to consider their trip from a health and safety point of view as the Company can accept no liability or responsibility for their safety whilst undertaking their project.

These Awards recognise and encourage skills traditionally associated with Livery Companies and assist apprentices in their chosen vocation.

A small number of bursaries have been established with specific colleges across Wales and are designed to help students of ability with financial help to progress to further or higher education.

The Schools Awards are made to a number of selected schools on a rolling programme to support and encourage pupils who have both the ability and ambition to continue with their education, usually at a higher level.

Company awards in North Wales (North of a line roughly drawn eastward from Aberystwyth) mirror in types those from the rest of Wales, namely awards to students from schools, colleges and universities, covering the arts, science and technology. Awards are also made to apprentices and to the armed services and cadets.

The SILVER JUBILEE FUND AWARDS are the product of a special fund set up to mark the Company’s Silver Jubilee.  A selection of awards of varying sums will be made favouring particularly the fine arts, architecture, international relations, language studies, and the law.

The Worshipful Livery Company of Wales (the Company) was established in 1993 to promote the arts, science and technology in Wales and in particular for the development of the skills and professional competences within these activities.

The overall aim of the Award Programme is “To Nurture Welsh Talent”. This will include Awards for those undertaking academic and vocational studies, members of the armed forces and those involved with Community services. There are a number of ad-hoc Awards also available. Awards will enable recipients to undertake travel, study and community projects which will significantly assist in furthering their careers and to enhance and develop their talents.

All applicants should be young people, generally between 15 and 35 years old and have Welsh credentials by reason of birth, education, residence, or work location. In the case of those university students who may only be studying in Wales, discretion will be exercised and further commitment to Wales will be sought.
Awards are determined by, and in order of:

• The ability of the applicant.
  

• The benefit to the applicant and to Wales that will accrue from the Award.
  

• The financial need of the applicant, although assessed only in general terms.
  

• The impact of the Award on the institution with which the applicant is associated.
