We are delighted to announce Louisa Tyrrell as this year’s recipient of the Séamus McDermott Entrepreneurial Scholarship at University of Galway.

Louisa is a first-year BA student in Human Rights with French, Politics and Sociology, whose impressive record in leadership, advocacy, and public engagement made her a truly deserving recipient.

The scholarship was awarded to Louisa by Aidan Corless, Chairperson of The Liffey Trust at the Aula Maxima.

At The Liffey Trust, we are passionate about supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers. The Séamus McDermott Entrepreneurial Scholarship continues to honour Séamus’ legacy by recognising young people with the ambition, vision, and drive to create meaningful impact in their communities and beyond.

We look forward to following Louisa’s journey and seeing the positive impact she will make.

This is the fourth consecutive year the scholarship has been presented in partnership with University of Galway IdeasLab, The University’s student innovation hub, which empowers students to develop creative solutions to real-world challenges.

For incoming first-year students joining University of Galway this September, applications for the Séamus McDermott Entrepreneurial Scholarship typically open in October.
