Carlow student receives scholarship award at ceremony in Dublin City University

Carlow student Laeeq Ur Rehman was presented with a scholarship award by Dublin City University on Wednesday 15th November. 

In total, forty-seven students received awards on the night named in honour of individuals and organisations who have played a key role in the life of Dublin City University and the wider Irish society. 

The scholarship recipients were selected based on different criteria, depending on the wishes of those who created the scholarship.

Laeeq Ur Rehman is a former student of St. Mary's Academy CBS in Carlow who is currently completing a degree in Business Studies at Dublin City University. He was presented with the Endowed Colm and Paula Delves Scholarship which was first established in 2018. Colm Delves is a business leader and a firm believer in giving back.

Speaking at the event, Joe Quinsey, CEO of DCU Educational Trust commented, “We are delighted to celebrate the students who receive memorial and endowed scholarships today, and to honour those who created those scholarships, and our friends and loved ones who are remembered through them. The talent and promise of these students are truly a source of great hope for the future.”
