University of South Wales - Welsh-medium Scholarship

USW Welsh-medium Scholarship

You will receive a one-off payment of about 290 EUR (£250) for one academic year if you complete at least 5 credits of your degree programme in Welsh. The University of South Wales pays this amount as a reward for completing part of your degree in Welsh. You will receive the money in May, once staff have confirmed that you have completed these 5 credits in Welsh. You can reapply each academic year. The grant is not automatically renewed.

• Welsh study: Each year, you must take at least 5 credits of your degree subjects in Welsh.
