The Robert T Jones Memorial Trust was established more than 30 years ago in memory of legendary American golfer Bobby Jones, who completed his Grand Slam of golf at St Andrews in 1930, the year when he won the Open and Amateur Championships of the UK and the US in the same year. The Trust, set up by his friends and family, funds an exchange programme between scholars of University of St Andrews and scholars of Emory University, Atlanta, of which Jones was an alumnus.
