USW’s Head of Welsh, Dr Gwawr Jones, said: “USW is keen to encourage applications from a diverse range of potential undergraduates and attract the best students.

“We want to give those who wish to study in Welsh a chance to thrive in a large number of subjects.

“These scholarships will support students to carry out their studies in Welsh, and give them the confidence to work bilingually in their chosen careers when they leave USW.”
