More than €100,000 in scholarships has been awarded to 50 first-year students at Mary Immaculate College (MIC).
The Entrance Scholarships are presented to students based on their Leaving Certificate results and are each valued at €2,000. Scholarships are usually officially presented to recipients at a special on-campus ceremony but that was this year cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Change and uncertainty are the most common form of stress we encounter… but they are not necessarily negative. They just require a response. While we can’t necessarily control the source of stress, we can control how it affects us. The unusual situation faced by school leavers this year can be seen as an opportunity. In viewing the situation in this way, you can look forward to it. The potential to feel good and envisage a great future is right there.”
