To acknowledge their prowess in their academic success, Niamh Jordan (Neuroscience), Avaania Kapoor (Biological and Biomedical Sciences), Naomi Bennett (Geology), and Conor Mannion (Biochemistry) were each granted €1,904.60 to help them to continue their studies.
This marks the 30th anniversary of the Bursary. The CEO of Lennox, Leslie Brett, stated that the bursary is “an important milestone, reflecting the long-standing commitment of the company in investing and supporting the next generation of researchers and professionals.”
Professor Stephen Smith, who is a senior tutor at Trinity, commented that “financial support of this kind enables students to focus on their academic development and fully engage with their studies.”
