The Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) President’s Scholarship Programme is open for applications from CAO applicants. Each year up to five exceptional undergraduate students are awarded scholarships with a total value of up to €12,000.
The scheme, which had its first cohort in 2016, encourages and rewards young people who show a capacity to shape a better society.
The application process has four stages. People cannot apply for the scholarship unless they have applied to the CAO and have chosen a WIT course.
WIT President Prof Willie Donnelly said: “2020 will be our fifth year offering the President’s Scholarship. In 2016 the scholarship programme was established as a statement of Waterford Institute of Technology’s commitment to recognising students' contribution to their environment and community. Again this year, we are seeking applications from CAO applicants to WIT who may be creative, are innovators, are leaders, or people who make significant contributions to community.”
People can make a CAO application by Saturday, February 1, 2020 (5.15pm), choosing the WIT course preference and apply for the WIT President's Scholarship before Sunday, March 1 the online form on www.wit.ie/caoscholarship.
