Investing in the future of the industry TU Dublin and Chadwicks Group launch Scholarship Programme

The Chadwicks Group Scholarship Programme was devised to support students in the TU Dublin’s Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment. This inaugural programme will provide financial assistance to two outstanding students for the duration of their studies, allowing them to focus on their education and future careers.

Patrick Atkinson, CEO of Chadwicks Group, recently visited the TU Dublin Grangegorman Campus to meet the TU Dublin Access team and one of the first recipients of the Chadwicks Group Scholarship, Omar Hasan. This new scholarship programme further strengthens the relationship between TU Dublin and Chadwicks Group, as both organisations share a commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders in engineering and construction.

Vital lifeline

Speaking about the programme, Claire Dunne, Access Support Manager at TU Dublin, said: “Financial supports like the Chadwicks Scholarship provide a vital lifeline for students, empowering them to focus on their studies without the constant worry of financial pressures. This allows them to fully engage in university life and provides them with the resources needed to reach their full potential.”

Investing in the future

Patrick Atkinson, CEO of Chadwicks Group, expressed the company’s enthusiasm for the new programme, stating: “Chadwicks Group is delighted to present this scholarship programme to TU Dublin to support the education and development of its students in the engineering and built environment fields. We are fully committed to investing in the future of the construction industry by helping students acquire the work skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their careers. We wish the recipients every success in their future studies and careers, and look forward to continuing to work and grow with TU Dublin on this and many other development projects.

TU Dublin’s Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment has 180 programmes, ranging from craft apprenticeships to short CPD courses, and degree programmes to Masters. Collaboration with businesses, such as Chadwicks, ensures that its graduates acquire the required abilities and expertise to develop and prosper in occupations in the built environment and engineering sectors.

Chadwicks Group, Ireland’s leading builders’ merchants, has been a valued partner of TU Dublin since 2022, when the company first began supporting Ireland’s first Design + Construct Centre at TU Dublin Broombridge. The Chadwicks Group Scholarship fully exemplifies the dedicated commitment of TU Dublin and its partners to providing students with the support they need to succeed in their chosen careers.

A vital lifeline for students, empowering them to focus on their studies without the constant worry of financial pressures.
