St. Canice’s Credit Union Student Scholarship Draw

St. Canice’s Credit Union has created a Scholarship Fund to assist students in their quest for further education and is awarding FIVE SCHOLARSHIPS to the value of €3,000 each based on certain criteria.

Yes, that’s €15,000 worth of scholarships.

The scholarships are exclusive to St. Canice’s Credit Union members to assist them with their chosen education path and applications are invited from members who are currently attending or commencing training or educational courses.
