The scholarships programme was established in 2008 to support many gifted young students across Ireland by providing them with financial support thus enabling them to participate in all aspects of university life. 125 All Ireland Scholarships from the 32 counties are awarded each year.

The 2019 All Ireland Scholarships Award Ceremony took place on Saturday 23rd November in the University Concert Hall, Limerick with Ireland Rugby Head Coach, Joe Schmidt as the guest of honour.

Schmidt joined an illustrious list of guest speakers such as Irish Presidents Michael D. Higgins and Mary McAleese; US President Bill Clinton; as well as other great sporting heroes, including jockey AP McCoy, rugby icon Paul O’Connell, Limerick hurling manager John Kiely and Irish soccer legend Martin O’Neill.

The 125 recipients were selected from a minimum of two highest-achieving students from each of the 32 counties.

Congratulations Cian from all in C.S.N. and we wish you every success in your future studies.
