WELSH LIVERY GUILD 

Information Technology

£1000  Travel  Scholarship 

The Scholarship

The Welsh Livery Guild was established in 1993 for the purpose of promoting the arts, science and technology in Wales and, in particular, for the development of the skills and professional competences within these activities.  One of the ways it achieves these objectives is by offering a limited number of £1000 Travel Scholarships in various sectors of education and personal development.

Purpose of the Scholarship

The Scholarship is to enable recipients – often, but not necessarily, post-graduate students – to travel abroad and to undertake a study project which will significantly assist in furthering their careers and enhancing and developing their talents.

Qualification for the Scholarship

The Guild is established for the benefit of the people of Wales.  Candidates, who should generally be within the age range of 21 to 35, will therefore need to demonstrate by a blend of birth, upbringing, residency, or employment that they have a commitment to Wales.  They should present a proposal which is compatible with the overall purpose of the Scholarship.

Application for a Scholarship

Applicants should complete the attached form and enclose it with an outline of their project (not more than 500 words) describing their proposal and why it would help them to develop their future career.  The outline should also show the itinerary and an indicative budget (flights, daily subsistence, etc.).  The completed form and enclosure should be submitted by email to : 

mrkeitharnold@shirenewton.mail1.co.uk

The authors of the best proposals, as judged by the Guild, will be invited for interview. 

The Scholarship Winner

The successful candidate will generally be expected to make the study trip during the third quarter of the year.  It is a condition of the award that, on return, the recipient of the award submits a report – by the end of September if possible – including, if possible, some photographs.  Guidance on the content of the report will be provided.   The report will be retained in the Guild’s archives.  Award recipients are responsible for their own safety whilst undertaking their project.
