Student wins €59k grant for US
The scholarship was awarded to Stephen McNamara by the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE), which was set up in 1994 to develop at graduate level a core of highly motivated and committed educators to work within Catholic schools. It sustains and strengthens under-resourced Catholic schools through leadership formation, research and professional service to ensure that all children, especially those from low-income families, have the opportunity to experience a Catholic education.
In order to accomplish this ACE provides talented and enthusiastic young teachers to under-resourced Catholic elementary and secondary schools across the southern United States. It also offers intensive professional preparation to equip those teachers with the skills and experience to become effective Catholic educators.
