UCD students were among some of the highest achieving students who received National University of Ireland (NUI) Scholarships and Awards at a recent ceremony in Dublin.
Speaking at the special event, Dr Maurice Manning, Chancellor of the National University of Ireland, emphasised the importance of supporting and investing in academic excellence:
“We are pleased to be able to provide these scholarships and awards to encourage, support and reward students in all of our constituent bodies in the pursuit of new knowledge and forms of expression – not simply for their own sake, but ultimately so that their innovations can benefit our culture, our economy, and our citizens.”
