Both students were supported with £1,000 grants from the charity.

The Harold Bridges Memorial Scholarship was launched in memory of Harold Bridges, a former student of Rotherham Grammar School in the 1930s, who went on to become chief executive and president of Shell Canada.   

Initially, both scholarships were awarded to A level students studying at TRC but the Feoffees have now decided the opportunity to apply for either 

scholarship will be extended from this academic year onwards to cover all schools in the Rotherham area offering A level courses.
