NSA Samuel Wharry Memorial Award for the Next Generation
Samuel Wharry of Carnlough, County Antrim, was NSA Chairman when he died suddenly in May 2017, aged just 56. As an advocate of science and technology, particularly relating to genetics, the bursary is given in Samuel’s memory to ensure his enthusiasm, curiosity and practical nature live on.
Since 2019 NSA Next Generation and the Company of Merchants of the Staple of England (the Staple) have jointly offered the Samuel Wharry Memorial Award for the Next Generation in the form of travel opportunities to support two young people (aged 21-34) in a study trip.
The selection criteria and award presentation is managed as part of the NSA Next Generation programme.
