Ulster GAA Student Bursary Awards

Ulster GAA Secretary, Danny Murphy, and Treasurer, Michael Hasson, are pictured with a number of the 47 students who received €640 bursaries from Ulster GAA.

The awards are part of a National initiative, which is administered by the Provincial Councils.  Ulster GAA awarded a total of €30,080 in bursaries for the 2012/13 academic year.

The scheme, which is now in its sixth year, was open to members of the Association who attend a full-time Higher Education course and who are active participants in their Higher Education club.  Students who hold another GAA-related or college scholarship/bursary were ineligible to apply for a GAA Bursary.

Presenting the awards, Danny Murphy congratulated the successful students and praised them on their commitment to Gaelic Games and to their academic studies.  Danny wished the students every success for the future both on and off the field of play and he assured the students that the Bursary would go a long way to assisting them to meet the soaring costs associated with pursuing their academic studies.
