A student from Carraroe has been awarded a prestigious scholarship worth €25,000 to support her third-level studies.

Éabha Ní Choisdealbha, a former student of Scoil Chuimsitheach Chiaráin, is one of this year’s recipients of a Naughton Foundation Scholarship.

It’s awarded to students that show academic and innovative excellence in the fields of engineering, science and technology.

Éabha, now a first-year engineering student at the University of Limerick, says the scholarship eases the financial burden university can bring.
