Offaly footballer among athletes awarded UCC Sports Scholarships

Ballycumber native Roisin Ennis is among the students to be named beneficiaries of the University College Cork Sport Scholarship Programme for 2024-2025.

The Gaelic footballer, who is a postgraduate Physiotherapy student, is one of the 86 athletes awarded representing 15 sports from across ten counties.

Designed to help students achieve their full potential, the programme is divided into two key strands, with scholarships for athletes in both team and individual sports.

Announcing this year’s recipients, UCC President John O’Halloran said: "At UCC, we deeply value and celebrate our exceptional student-athletes for the immense contributions they make to their sports, communities, families, and schools, as well as their personal development.

“We extend heartfelt thanks to our dedicated coaches, volunteers, Clubs Executive, and staff who work tirelessly to support these athletes.

"A special acknowledgement goes to our generous sponsors — Bank of Ireland, Gym+Coffee, MJ Dowling, the Moss Keane family, and the Jason Foley family whose support of our scholarship programme plays a vital role in the growth and success of our student-athletes."
