Almost 190 students have been assisted with access to higher education at TUS Midwest campuses through academic scholarships since 2014. Over €2 million has been invested in the provision of academic scholarships across the Moylish, Clare Street, Thurles, Clonmel and Ennis campuses over the past eight years.
The objective of the academic scholarships is to support access to higher education and help students overcome challenges to remaining in education. Recently, a special ceremony recognised the achievements of 17 students who were presented with their scholarships for the 2022-2023 academic year at the TUS, Moylish Campus in Limerick.
Congratulating the scholarship recipients and expressing pride in their achievements to date, Professor Vincent Cunnane, President of TUS, highlighted how these scholarships go beyond just supporting individuals, “These scholarships make a huge difference to the lives of the determined, hardworking and talented scholarship recipients; their families and communities. However, the impact is not limited to the individual and their inner circle of family and friends. The long-term benefit of the Leaders@TUS scholarships and 1916 Bursaries to the supporting companies, the community and indeed the local economy is the availability of highly employable, work ready graduates, who have already proven their determination to succeed.”
