Launch of 2024 3rd Level Bursary Award

Access Credit Union Launches the 2024 Donal O'Driscoll Student Bursary Award.

One lucky West Cork Student will be awarded a €5,000 Educational Bursary for support in their 3rd Level education adventure.

The bursary of €5,000 will provide financial support to one individual embarking on third-level education or commencing an apprenticeship this year, and applications are open to all Access Credit Union members.

The bursary was launched in 2022 to honour the career and achievements of Access Credit Union’s late CEO, Donal O’Driscoll.

As somebody who was passionate about education and lifelong learning, Donal actively encouraged Access Credit Union staff to engage in further education and supported those who did.  Throughout his long term as CEO, Donal championed the Credit Union ethos of supporting and empowering members, particularly in the sphere of education.

Applicants for the bursary must be members of Access Credit Union or open an account to be eligible to apply, along with submitting a 400-word piece on how the bursary will help your educational journey.

Applications must be submitted no later than Friday 13th September to one of the Access Credit Union branches in Skibbereen, Bandon or Schull or online via www.accesscu.ie/bursary
