Students from across County Wexford have been recognised for their academic excellence with academic scholarships to Dublin City University.
The scholarships, worth €500 each, were rewarded to the students in recognition of them receiving 550 points or more in their leaving certificate exams.
The students were among 307 young people from across Ireland to whom €153,500 worth of scholarships was presented.
While a traditional presentation ceremony could not take place due to current restrictions, school principals will be presented with a plaque to display in their school to mark the significant achievement of their pupils.
Scholarships are awarded to students who not only gain the required number of points but also meet the specific entry requirements and register to study with any of DCU's five faculties: Engineering & Computing; Humanities & Social Sciences; Science & Health; DCU Business School and the Institute of Education DCU.
