Over €14.500 raised for Rosemary Orr Scholarship

Thanks to the generous contributions of many sponsors, the Rosemary Orr Scholarship Fund has raised over €14.500 has for the upcoming academic year!

The Rosemary Orr Scholarship Fund was established in 2017 by a group of alumni. Through the financial support of students, the Fund strives to honour the memory of Dr. Rosemary Orr and her passion for enabling hardworking and determined students that use their leadership, creativity and humour to create diverse and inclusive communities.

Rosemary Orr strongly believed that each story has a lesson to teach; storytelling is a valued skill that is used in various contexts - as tool for partnership brokering or conflict resolution. Therefore, candidates for the Rosemary Orr Scholarship were asked to submit a story as part of their application, instead of a regular motivation letter.

The scholarship committee is currently in the process of reviewing applications, and selecting the recipient of the Rosemary Orr Scholarship 2018.
