Dr Jack Matthews Scholarship Fund
 In April 2009 the School of Medicine along with Cardiff Medicals RFC launched a campaign to raise funds to provide scholarships, bursaries and prizes for medical students studying at Cardiff University.
The Dr Jack Matthews Scholarship Fund will help build a legacy for future generations and inspire medical students, helping them reach their full potential. The School of Medicine at Cardiff University has built an enviable reputation for excellence in teaching and research – work which continues to bring significant benefits to individuals, society and health worldwide.
Dr Jack Matthews OBE studied at Cardiff Medical School and practised as a GP in Cardiff for over 40 years. Dr Jack was an accomplished sportsman and played rugby union for Cardiff, the Barbarians, Wales and the British Lions.
