| The Griff Caldwell bursaries |
Major General Griff Caldwell was born in Guernsey in 1921. After an army career, he retired to Guernsey and was involved in the running of La Société Guernesiaise for many years.
He was instrumental in establishing the extensive network of nature reserves the Societe currently owns or manages.
The bursary is in memory of Griff and is a single payment of £1,000 for a student from the Bailiwick of Guernsey taking a higher education course.
The bursary is intended to support a student who is studying a subject related to Griff Caldwell’s interest in fauna, flora and the natural environment, and their conservation.
Who is eligible to apply for the bursary?
Any person who:
(a) is ordinarily resident in the Bailiwick of Guernsey at the commencement of his/her course of higher education; and
(b) is attending, or will be attending, in the autumn term 2017 a course of higher education in biological, ecological or environmental science or a course which contains a substantial element of such science.
Applications may be made in respect of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. For details on how to apply click

La
Société Guernesiaise was founded in 1882 to encourage the
study of the history, natural history, geography and geology of the Bailiwick
of Guernsey, the conservation of the Bailiwick’s natural environment
and the preservation of its historic buildings and monuments. 125 years
later, this is as much true as it was then and the Société is
the second largest landowner after the States of Guernsey and is very
active in promoting, conserving and studying all aspects of island
life.
