Donegal student Courtney Brennan was presented with a scholarship award by Dublin City University at a ceremony to celebrate memorial and endowed scholarships on Wednesday, November 15.
In total, 47 students received awards named in honour of individuals and organisations who have played a key role in the life of Dublin City University and Irish society.
Courtney Brennan from Creeslough, a former student of Scoil Phobail Chloigh Cheannfhaola who is studying for a degree in Nursing from Dublin City University, was presented with the Endowed Ulster Bank Access Scholarship. Established by Ulster Bank, this scholarship was created to help support equal access to third-level education.
Speaking at the event, Joe Quinsey, CEO of DCU Educational Trust commented:
“We are delighted to celebrate the students who receive memorial and endowed scholarships today, and to honour those who created those scholarships, and our friends and loved ones who are remembered through them. The talent and promise of these students are truly a source of great hope for the future.”
The 47 scholarship recipients were selected based on different criteria, depending on the wishes of those who created the scholarship.
These include undergraduate students supported by DCU’s Access Programme, postgraduate students in the fields of Biotechnology, Accounting, Law and Journalism, and students with outstanding sporting achievements.
