Glesni wins scholarship to America
A second year student at Trinity University College is looking forward to studying in America after winning a scholarship of £1,000 from the Welsh Livery Guild.
Glesni Price-Jones, who is studying the BA in Theatre Design and Production, was chosen to receive the scholarship as she proved in her interview, according to adjudicators Dr John Walters and Bryan March of the Guild, her commitment to the arts in Wales.
Glesni, a former pupil at Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllywin Pontypool, will be using the money towards the cost of studying at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, the most recent university to join Trinity’s study abroad programme which facilitates student exchange between Wales and the USA.
The Scholarship was presented to a student of the University by the Welsh Livery Guild, an organisation establishedfor the purpose of promoting education, science and the fine arts, and in particular the promotion of skills and associated professional activities in Wales.
On receiving the scholarship, Glesni, who is from Newport, said “I am extremely pleased to win the scholarship because it’s going to be a big help in New Mexico. I’m looking forward to going to America to study at the University and to learn about its traditions”.
She will travel to America in August and will study at the University of New Mexico until December. After graduating Glesni hopes to start her own creative business in Wales.
