Arklow student Liam picks up engineering scholarship
AN Arklow third level student has been awarded a prestigious scholarship.
Liam Gregory who is in third year Mechanical Engineering in Technical University Dublin, Bolton Street has been chosen as the recipient of the 2018 Wallace Family Scholarship.
Liam is described by the university as ‘an outstanding student who has been fascinated with mechanics ever since he was a child’.
His father was a building contractor so he was immersed in construction and mechanics from an early age.
‘The Wallace Family Scholarship aims to support committed students like Liam who have not only demonstrated academic achievement but also engaged with the world of engineering outside of the classroom. The Wallace Family Fund for Engineering was established in 2016 by engineer Paul Wallace, a graduate of 1958 Bolton Street. It was with the financial support of a generous donor that Paul himself had the opportunity to study engineering at DIT in 1958. He went on to have a long and fruitful career as an engineer in both industry and academia,’ said Jill O’Lone, Scholarship Manager, TU Dublin.
