€2k university scholarships for top student scientists
The overall prize fund for 2015 has been boosted by up to €26,000, including €2,000 each for two teachers whose contribution to science and technology education at the event will be recognised.
Most of the increased prizes are on offer for senior students taking part, as fifth-year and sixth-year participants have the chance to help meet some of their college costs. The prizes will be awarded if they go on to attend any one of the country’s seven universities next year or in 2016.
