As you live in the vicinity of Penn and Bryn Mawr / Haverford, it might not hurt to inquire if their libraries and collections contain enough materials in Welsh, such that a student may be able to incorporate it as more of a textual language – say, a third language in a comp. lit. program (the second language being more accessible and common to read and speak). For example, my old advisor was proficient in many languages, some of them “dead”, vestigial, or relevant only to a certain grouping of texts (Old Norse, Middle High German, etc.)

But, as others have said, if the student really seeks to master Welsh as a spoken, “living” language, it’s probably going to require some time in Wales.
