School marks tenth year of awards

EIGHT students who completed their Leaving Cert exam at Sexton Street Christian Brothers School (CBS), in Limerick, will tonight each receive a JP McManus scholarship worth €4,500 per year, towards their third-level education.

This is the tenth year of the JP McManus scholarships, and, in that time, just over €1 million has been paid out to the students at the school.

Each year the top eight Leaving Cert students at Sexton Street CBS receive the awards. Scholarships this year are going to Alan Brereton, Eoin Madigan, Alan McAuliffe, Colm O’Brien, Kevin O’Doherty, Shane O’Reilly, Vijay Slattery and Ross Tuite.
