Aspiring students helped by anonymous donor

A scholarship fund gifted by an anonymous donor will give 12 graduates the chance to attend UCD’s Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School this September.

The successful graduates will have half of their chosen programme fees paid for. The donor is giving €500,000 to the Aspire scholarship fund as a contribution to the recovery of the economy and the fund will send 60 students to UCD Smurfit School over five years.

The closing date for entry is Apr 30, and applications can be made at www.smurfitschool.ie/aspire.
