For more than 20 years, Cymdeithas Madog has provided a unique opportunity to study the Welsh language in North America. In many cases, the award makes a crucial difference, but in other cases, it is not enough to enable a prospective student to attend. In addition to the partial scholarships, Cymdeithas Madog offers the Naomi Mergenthal Memorial Scholarship, a fully paid scholarship for one young person. In recent years, with the Cymdeithas Madog web site and increasing use of the Internet, more people, including university students, have expressed interest in attending the courses. While the organization is pleased about this trend, it highlights the existing need for more full scholarships.
Contributions are U.S. tax deductible.
The interest earned will be enough to provide the equivalent of two full scholarships each year, in addition to current scholarship programs. You are invited to make a donation to Cymdeithas Madog for this purpose. There are numerous opportunities to do so. If you have ever received a scholarship, and now find yourself in a more stable financial situation, you are encouraged to donate the value of the scholarship you received. When making a memorial donation, consider the Scholarship Endowment Fund.
