Institute of Technology Sligo Sports Scholarships have been awarded at a special ceremony hosted by Professor Terri Scott, President IT Sligo. The sports scholarships provide financial and mentoring support to athletes of outstanding talent. Many have already represented IT Sligo or their county in their respective sports. Sports scholarship recipients are supported by IT Sligo in keeping up their sporting commitments at the same time as pursuing their educational commitments and goals.
Announcing the awards, Professor Terri Scott said “I am delighted to congratulate our outstanding and talented athletes who have demonstrated commitment and brought distinction to the Institute of Technology Sligo. Each award winner is also a role model for other sportsmen and sportswomen. In achieving success at the highest level in your respective sports, you have exhibited commitment, determination and drive that will be invaluable to you in the years ahead.” Chairman of the judging panel, Dr Bill Crowe remarked that the standard of applicants had been the highest in many years, reflecting the ever increasing sporting achievements of students at IT Sligo.
