Madam,

The Rotary Club of Aberystwyth will run its scholarship scheme again in 2020. The scheme offers financial support for a number of young people from the Aberystwyth area wishing to travel abroad for humanitarian and experience-widening purposes.

Anyone up to and including the age of 23 on 31 January 2020, with a permanent address in Aberystwyth (or its immediate catchment area) may apply. Applications are invited from school, college and university students, although it must be emphasised that an Aberystwyth student address does not meet the qualifying criteria.

There must be a clear-cut purpose for the overseas visit.

There is no application form. Anyone interested is invited to submit a written application which should include a curriculum vitae and full details of the visit and how the candidate personally expects to benefit from the experience.

If the proposed visit is organised by a humanitarian or charitable organisation, any supporting literature provided by the organisation and the project should be included with the application.

Applications for the next awards, which will take place in the summer of 2020, should be made to Rotarian Geraint Thomas, 11 Crugyn Dimai, Rhydyfelin, Aberystwyth SY23 4PR, or by email to [email protected] by 31 January 2020.

Yours etc,

Geraint R Thomas, Chairman of the Foundation Committee, Rotary Club of Aberystwyth Foundation Scholarship Scheme.
