Each year, Daniel Thwaites Brewery in Blackburn, Lancs. awards a scholarship to a group of students from the geographical area it serves. For most recipients, its a trip of a life time, and leaves a lasting impression. Thank you, Thwaites.
If you are on this list or you received a scholarship in another year, why not email me at

My thanks to Margaret Pawson, Outbound Programmes Manager for
EIL Limited, a company that promoted the aims of the Experiment in International Living. EIL administered the Scholarship for Thwaites for many years since its inception in 1958.
