Sport Bursaries<\/p>\n
Young people in Ards have the chance to scoop a \u00a3500 award by applying now for one of three Blair Mayne Bursaries. <\/p>\n
Anyone under the age of 25 who lives in the Ards Borough and who aspires to excellence in one of three categories – sport, academic study or adventure training, can apply for a Bursary as a way to help them to achieve a goal or realise a particular project. <\/p>\n
Recent awards have gone to talented sports men and women, musicians, students and adventurers, all of whom received bursaries to pursue their ambitions. <\/p>\n
Chairman of the Blair Mayne Bursary Committee, Alderman Ronnie Ferguson, is encouraging other young people to take advantage of the funding on offer: <\/p>\n
The Bursary represents a great opportunity for any young person to pursue a goal or ambition and can be used to contribute to the cost of anything from specialist training, tuition or equipment to undertaking an expedition or enabling someone to travel for the purposes of voluntary or charitable work, said Alderman Ferguson. All any young person needs to show is a commitment to aspire to excellence in their chosen field and I hope again to see a diverse number of quality applications. <\/p>\n
The Bursary was established with excess funds from a public appeal to erect a memorial to Lt Col Blair Mayne DSO, and is intended to reflect his life and achievements by encouraging young people to aspire to excellence. <\/p>\n
The closing date for applications is Wednesday 27 October 2010. Further information and application forms are available from Ursula Mezza at Ards Borough Council, Tel: 028 9182 4021, E: ursula.mezza@ards-council.gov.uk or from \u0013 HYPERLINK “http:\/\/www.ards-council.gov.uk\/servic” \u0014www.ards-council.gov.uk\/servic\u0015<\/p>\n
