The Tom Jordan Bursary
The Rotary club of Glossop is looking for an exceptional, courageous young person,( or small group of young people), to award this year’s Tom Jordan Bursary to. Tom was an honorary member of Glossop Rotary Club and lost his life tragically young to cancer. Tom was a committed sportsman, dedicated to encouraging other young people to make the very best of their lives and talents.
The Bursary is £500 and must be used for something that you really want to do and will make a big difference to you. For example, paying for a college course or driving lessons, buying a bike/equipment or going on a very special holiday.
To be eligible to apply you need to live in High Peak and be under the age of 21 at the time you submit your application. You need to tell us all about yourself and your experiences. If it would feel better you may ask someone that you trust to submit your application for you, it can be easier than writing about yourself sometimes.
We suggest that you use the application below, but it is not essential. You can write to us instead if you prefer. Either way, please submit you application by email to reach us before 30th April 2022 to: Karenrigg572@aol.com
Some basic details about you (the applicant):
Name
E-mail address
Home address
Telephone number
Date of birth
If someone else is completing the application for you please give us their name and tell us how you know them:
|
Please tell us about you. Please include how old you are, the big challenges you have had to face, what you have done to get over them, and what you have achieved.
|
If you won the £500 bursary, please tell us what you would spend it on and how much difference it would make to your life.
