Barely a fortnight after congratulating two of Ysgol y Berwyn's sixth formers on being awarded entrance scholarships to Bangor University, another two have followed in their footsteps, but to further their studies at Aberystwyth University this time.

Maria Owen from Ty Nant, near Corwen is studying History, Welsh and Music to A level and has been awarded the scholarship and an unconditional entry to study Welsh and History at the university.

Alwyn Jones from Llidiardau hopes to study Veterinary Science next year after his A levels in Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Business Studies. Like Maria, he received the same offer from Aberystwyth , but to study Agriculture with Animal Science. This offer will be very handy to fall back on if he does not succeed in his wish to enter the extremely competitive field of Veterinary Science.

Congratulations to them both. The success of the four Ysgol y Berwyn students is credit to them and their teachers.
