Sara Boyd, who last year completed a Level 3 Extended Diploma in IT at SERC, won a JP McManus All-Ireland Scholarship. Sara commented, “I almost didn't apply for the scholarship as I thought I wouldn't get it, so I am grateful to my older sister for encouraging me to apply anyway. I'm also grateful to my course tutor, Matt, for helping me to get the best grades I could and helping with my application to uni. The scholarship has taken a weight off financially, but winning it also gave me a boost in confidence, knowing that I was smart enough to win it."   

Applications forms and a photocopy of your Level 3 Extended Diploma must be sent digitally to gneville@collaborateni.ac.uk by 4pm on Thursday 29 August 2024 (Please do not send original result documentation).
