On September 21, we welcomed Mr Ian McIntyre, Chairman of the Tallow Chandlers Company Education and Charities Committee, to our annual Tallow Chandlers’ STEMM bursary awards presentation.

The Company is generously supporting STEMM (science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine) programmes at GCA. This support includes academic bursaries for six students in Year 12 who display the best combination of application and progress in STEMM subjects and who show the potential to achieve the best grade in the examination at the end of their course.  

Students receive their £500 award at the beginning of Year 13. Provided winners take a STEMM subject at university, they receive a further bursary of £1000 during their first year.  

2017-18 Award winners

Tallow Chandlers’ award winners from 2016 and 2017 collected the second part of their bursary. They are all studying a STEMM subject at university.
