Thomas John Jones Memorial Fund (Engineering Students)

Grants of £3,000 a year from the Thomas John Jones Memorial Fund, managed by Community Foundation Wales, for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying engineering or a course with a significant engineering component. The fund was set up in 1944 to help young people in the old county of Breconshire train for the engineering industry. Students must live in, or have attended school in, the eligible areas of former Breconshire (now south Powys and parts of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Merthyr Tydfil, Caerphilly and Monmouthshire) or Blaenau Gwent, and must show a clear need for financial support, financial hardship or additional support needs. Accepted courses include civil, chemical, electrical, aerospace, computer, environmental, biomedical and robotics engineering. The fund closes at midday on 1 March 2027.
