Search begins for Gareth Raw Rees travel scholarship applications

Last year, the Scholarship made £4,450 available for applicants considering travelling within the UK, Europe or further afield.

Past winners of the award have travelled to New Zealand, Australia, America, the Orkney Islands, Georgia, the Isle of Man and many other destinations.

If you are under 30 years old and would like some financial assistance with your travels, even if you have already received support from another scholarship or fund, then this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

NFU Cymru Policy Adviser, Joe Rees Jones said: “The scholarship fund was launched in 1984 in memory of the late Gareth Raw Rees MBE from Ceredigion, whose considerable energies had always been directed towards promoting the interests of young people in farming and in the countryside.  He was a firm believer in the benefits of travelling towards the fulfilment of a broader and more rewarding education.
