Margaret
de Rohan writes:
Named for Alison (née de Rohan) and Francis
Gaillard, who met and fell in love while reading for their BA degrees at Oxford
Polytechnic in the early 1980s. They married in September 1985 and had their
honeymoon in the Greek Islands. A year later they returned to Greece to
celebrate their first wedding anniversary.
A few
months later - on 6 March 1987 - after a day trip to Bruges to see some of the
art treasures there, they died together, within sight of Zeebrugge harbour,
when 'The Herald of Free Enterprise' ferry capsized and sank in less than three
minutes. One hundred and ninety one other people also died that tragic day.
In early
November 2005, my husband, Maurice, was diagnosed with cancer. Despite a major
operation and six months of chemo-therapy, he lost his valiant fight on 5
October 2006, and once again our family suffered a devastating loss.
But out
of tragedy, good can often flow. It is now my great pleasure to establish a new
postgraduate Scholarship - 'The de Rohan Scholarship' - in memory of Alison,
Francis and Maurice - which will provide a postgraduate Scholarship in the
Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences for the MA courses in Creative
Writing, English or History and for the MA by Research in Art History."
The
closing date for applications for the scholarship is 17:00, Friday 3 July 2020. Please note applications will only be accepted from students who
have already been made a conditional or unconditional offer by Oxford Brookes
University. Please also note that International students are only eligible for
