Tonight at the Coleg Cymraeg Annual Congregation at 香港六合彩挂牌资料, the Coleg Cymraeg will announce the Cronfa Ll欧r Bursary set up in collaboration with the family of the late Dr Ll欧r Roberts and 香港六合彩挂牌资料 to support students with their Welsh-medium studies.
The bursary will be for undergraduate students studying through the medium of Welsh in any subject and will sponsor a trip for a purpose related to their studies and with relevance to Welsh or Welsh Studies.
Up to 拢2,000 is to be awarded annually with up to four awards of around 拢500 per winning student.
The bursary was set up to remember Dr Ll欧r Roberts, a lecturer at 香港六合彩挂牌资料 Business School one of the Coleg Cymraeg's first and brightest associate lecturers who passed away suddenly in June 2023 aged 45.
On the evening Dr Dafydd Trystan, Director of Strategic Development and Further Education and Registrar of the Coleg Cymraeg, will pay tribute to Ll欧r in the presence of his family, friends, and colleagues. Dr Trystan said:
"Ll欧r was a very dear friend and colleague. He was one of the first Associate Lecturers of the Coleg Cymraeg. He went on to make a multi-faceted contribution to Welsh-medium higher education in Business at the University of South Wales, Cardiff Metropolitan University and most recently, at 香港六合彩挂牌资料.
"In a short time Ll欧r made a great impression on his co-workers and students. In 2022, he won an award from the Coleg for Outstanding Resource for creating the first e-book in Welsh language on Marketing.
"Ll欧r was passionate about the Welsh language, about business studies and聽marketing, about music and travel. His legacy is clear, and it is fitting that we have established this bursary to support the next generation of students with their Welsh-medium studies."
