Scholarships<br />

The Henderson Park Scholarship<br />

The aim of this scholarship is to provide financial assistance<br />

to passionate and motivated students who will make<br />

their mark on the construction and property sector. The<br />

scholarship is open to 1st and 2nd year students in Quantity<br />

Surveying and Construction Economics (<strong>TU</strong>837) and<br />

Property Economics (<strong>TU</strong>836). Students receive support of<br />

€3,000 for each year left in their studies.<br />

Shane Friel, Property Economics, 2nd Year, Bolton Street:<br />

“Firstly, as I enter my final year in property economics in <strong>TU</strong><br />

<strong>Dublin</strong>, I’d like to thank all involved at Henderson Park and<br />

<strong>TU</strong> <strong>Dublin</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> for your support over the past three<br />

years. You have changed my college experience from being<br />

extremely challenging to a very enthusiastic and belonging<br />

quest. The support has been a well of encouragement over<br />

the years to persevere.<br />

Since receiving the Henderson Park Scholarship at the<br />

beginning of my third year in Property Economics in <strong>TU</strong> <strong>Dublin</strong> Bolton Street, my college experience has changed quite dramatically.<br />

I still feel that Property Economics is 100% the correct career for me and having the opportunity to do a work placement within the<br />

sector for a couple of months this year has compounded that confidence in choice. The continued support from a company like<br />

Henderson Park enables me to concentrate on my studies and lessen my financial worries, now more than ever.”<br />

The Intel Scholarship Programme<br />

Since 2018, the Intel Scholarship Programme has supported<br />

seven students annually. Alongside €3,000 in financial<br />

support, the scholarship awardees are connected to a<br />
