Drogheda Credit Union awards €15,000 to support local students

Fifteen students receive €1,000 each through the Higher Education Scholarship Programme

Drogheda Credit Union recently celebrated the recipients of its Higher Education Scholarship Programme at a presentation in its Drogheda branch, where 15 local student members were each awarded €1,000 to support their further and higher education journeys.

This initiative puts the credit union’s commitment to education into action, providing practical financial support as students build their skills, pursue their interests and work towards their future careers.

Launched earlier this year, the programme welcomed applications from members entering or already attending university, technological universities, PLC courses, apprenticeships and other recognised further education and training programmes. Its broad eligibility recognised that there are many different routes to gaining qualifications and building a career.

The scholarships are designed to help ease the financial pressures associated with continuing education, offering a contribution towards the costs students face as they take this important next step.

Newly appointed CEO Sarah McGee, highlighted the thinking behind the initiative at the recent presentation to the students: “As a community focused financial institution, Drogheda Credit Union has always been about much more than banking. Education opens doors, creates opportunities and helps shape futures, and we are delighted to be able to play a small part in helping our members achieve their ambitions through this scholarship programme.”

Drogheda Credit Union congratulates all the recipients and wishes them every success in their studies and training.
