Applications for 2025 Gareth Pierce Bursary now open

We are pleased to announce that the fourth round of applications for our Gareth Pierce Bursary is now open.  

In honour of our former Chief Executive, we launched the Gareth Pierce Bursary in 2022 to support undergraduate students studying Mathematics through the medium of Welsh. 

The bursary scheme supports 3 students annually and is administered through the kind support of Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. 

Previous recipients have studied in renowned institutions including Aberystwyth University and Cardiff University, further information is available here. 

Criteria

As part of the scheme, 3 bursaries of £3,000 per year are given to each student who is studying Mathematics through the medium of Welsh and are also eligible for a means tested student loan. As the funds they receive are a grant, this is non-repayable, reducing the financial burden on students. 

Make an application

Applications for students who will commence their studies from September 2025 are now open. Further details on how the scheme will work and how to make an application are available via the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol website.
