Hywel Teifi Memorial Fund
Established in 2010, Academi Hywel Teifi works to ensure the continuation of Hywel Teifi's vision, and his work as a scholar and a champion for Welsh language, literature and culture. The aim of the Academi is to support, increase and enrich Welsh-medium education and research provision and promote collaboration and enterprise, creating opportunities through the medium of the Welsh language at a national and community level.
In 2012, the Hywel Teifi Memorial Fund was set up to secure further growth in the Academi’s work, and to inspire and influence future generations. The Fund supports projects and provides opportunities and resources that change our students' lives, helping the University to act as an institution that opens the door to a bright future for our Welsh-medium students.
New scholarship to mark Hywel Teifi Edwards’ significant contribution
Academi Hywel Teifi has launched an appeal to establish a new scholarship in memory of Hywel Teifi Edwards.
The Hywel Teifi Memorial Scholarship will aim to support Welsh-medium postgraduate students who wish to study a field related to Hywel Teifi's contribution to Welsh learning and culture, specifically:
- History
- Literature
- The Welsh language
- Politics
- The media
The Scholarship was launched during the University's centenary, and a decade since the Academi was established at Swansea University in memory of Hywel Teifi, where he spent 30 years as a lecturer.
The first winner of the Scholarship, Alpha Evans, was awarded in 2021. Read her story here.
Academi Hywel Teifi is asking people to contribute to the scholarship on a monthly basis. Download the Scholarship flyer for further details Ysgoloriaeth Goffa Hywel Teifi (Welsh)
