Róisín Dowdall and Oran Harris (St. Paul’s High School, Bessbrook), Sarah Fitzpatrick (Our Lady's Grammar School) and David Kehoe (Abbey CBS Grammar School) were amongst six students to receive the award.
The scholarship includes a cash award and allows successful applicants to gain one of up to five reserved places across a number of DCU undergraduate courses.
Prof Dáire Keogh said, “This group of scholars, from right across the island of Ireland, represents the extraordinary talent of our young people. They are a credit to their former schools and should be very proud of their achievements.
“We look forward to the future success of these talented students and we commit to supporting their personal and academic development throughout their time at the University.”
