A new, much needed scholarship scheme has being announced by National
University of Ireland, Galway. NUI Galway is one of Ireland’s foremost centres of
academic excellence. Over 17,000 students undertake an extensive range of
studies at the University, which is renowned for the quality of its graduates.
The scholarship involves rewading any student who achieves 560 or over in
the Leaving Certificate and goes on to study in NUI Galway with an automatic
scholarship of €2,000. These scholarships, called the “Excellence Scholarships”
are designed to recognise and reward Leaving Certificate students and encourage
their diligence and success while they are studying in NUI Galway.The students
who apply for this criteria will be automatically contacted by the college once
they enrol in NUI Galway.
The qualification
criteria for Medical students differs slightly, there will be 10 special
scholarships for those scoring in the top 10, based on the combined results of
the Leaving Certificate and the H-PAT. Meanwhile, a certain number of
scholarships will be kept by individual colleges, to ensure an even
distribution across the different disciplines.
“The Excellence Scholarships recognise the academic achievements of our
brightest new entrants, who have performed exceptionally well in the Leaving
Certificate,” explains Martina Ní Chúlain, Admissions Officer at NUI Galway.
“These prestigious awards will provide some financial assistance to high
calibre students, thus facilitating their transition into higher education and
their continued academic success.”
The initiative is one
of a series of scholarship schemes put in place by NUI Galway to help encourage
academic success. Students at NUI Galway can also benefit from Postgraduate
Scholarships, Mature Student Scholarships and schemes specific to individual
colleges for those who excel in their University exams.
