Scholarship grant for Kildare student
Bord Na Mona Scholarship Programme presentation in Newbridge
A KILDARE student is one of just 10 students nationally chosen by Bord na Móna to join the scholarship strand of its ‘Pathways to the Future’ programme which is worth €28,000 each.
Shane Sullivan is from Clane and is completing a MSc at Maynooth University, and received his scholarship at a special event held in Bord na Móna’s Headquarters in Newbridge earlier this week.
This scholarship provides financial supports for individuals interested in pursuing studies, and building careers in climate action and sustainable economic development.
Bord na Móna has also awarded an additional scholarship in partnership with TUS Athlone.
The pathways are awarded annually since 2022 to 10 students in third level education across Ireland. Applicants to the scholarship scheme were required to submit a business case on renewable energy and a personal statement demonstrating their leadership qualities.
Eligible candidates were required to be enrolled in undergraduate studies (level 8), masters or doctoral studies, in a discipline relating to climate action and sustainable development.
Bord na Móna’s programme consists of three different pathways: a scholarship pathway, a graduate pathway and an apprenticeship pathway.
