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.
These Awards recognise and encourage skills traditionally associated with Livery Companies and assist students in their chosen vocation.
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 Worshipful Livery Company of Wales (the Company) was established in 1993 to promote the education, 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 General Development 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.
