Scholarships & Grants~
available to North American Individuals & Organizations

The scholarships and grants program will continue the scope to create awareness of historical and on-going trans-Atlantic links; to develop a network of people on both sides of 'the pond' to support our work; and to award individuals who we feel have, by personal example, furthered Welsh-American relations.
