The James Pantyfedwen Foundation

The James Pantyfedwen Foundation began its operations on 1 April 1998 as a successor to two former charitable trusts - the Catherine and Lady Grace James Foundation (established in 1957) and the John and Rhys Thomas Foundation (established in 1967). Both these foundations had been set up by the late Sir D.J. James whose aim was to create a permanent endowment to benefit the people of Wales. The foundation supports many Welsh postgraduate students each year, those being either Masters' or PhD students, through payment towards tuition fees. Applications can only be considered from Welsh people for postgraduate study, and some priority is currently given to those students undertaking postgraduate research work. The Foundation does not, in any circumstances, supplement awards provided by local education authorities and research councils.
