Congratulations to Trisha Thomas, the first annual recipient of the Tom Reilly Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship, set up in memory of long-time Cwrs attendee Tom Reilly, friend to all who met him, will be awarded each year to a young person, 25 years of age or under, at the end of the Cwrs week. The scholarship is for attendance at the following year’s Cwrs Cymraeg, and includes full tuition and double room and board. The recipient must be at the current course and also have attended at least one other course in the prior three years. Prior scholarship recipients are eligible for consideration. The CM Board will select the awardee who best exemplifies the mission of the scholarship, which is to encourage lifelong enjoyment of Welsh language learning.
Tom passed away in April 2011, at age 85. He had attended about 30 consecutive Cyrsiau.
