A total of 33 Sports Scholarships were awarded in LYIT on Monday 25th February to full time students who are committed members of the sports programme.
Paul Hannigan, President of LYIT, who presented these awards at a lunch in the Mount Errigal Hotel, Letterkenny, thanked the scholars for representing LYIT in their chosen sport and congratulated them on their scholarship achievement. He also made reference to the need for good time management between academic studies and sports and he urged all scholars to ensure that they continue to successfully progress in their studies as well as their chosen sport. Paul also welcomed the improved gender balance among the scholars and he attributed this to the growing interest in Ladies Soccer and Ladies GAA.
