The Biggest Aisling Education Bursary Awards in 24 years! West Belfast Partnership Board hosted their annual Aisling Education Bursary Awards Ceremony in St Mary’s University College on Monday 11th September 2023 marking 24 years of the awards and the biggest to date. Sponsors have donated an incredible £87k which will help 174 students to fulfil their dreams of beginning or continuing their studies in the 2023/24 academic year and we are fortunate that are number of students attending St Mary’s are recipients of these bursaries. The Aisling Education Bursaries are a unique education scheme for students from west Belfast and Shankill, which highlight the importance the business community attaches to education in developing West Belfast. The initiative is a community and private sector partnership through which businesses, community enterprises, families and individuals contribute to the Aisling education Bursary fund and make a firm commitment to developing the skills of the local community. The sponsors have shown not only an incredible gesture of generosity, but also a vote of confidence in the recipients of the Bursaries and a real investment in our West Belfast community. It’s incredible that in the last 24 years, a total of £905,500 has been awarded to 1248 students and congratulations goes to the West Belfast Partnership Board on what they have achieved to support students in education. We wish them every success as they try to reach the £1m mark for next year to celebrate 25 years! We look forward to hosting the 25th anniversary of the Aisling Education Bursaries at St Mary’s University College
