Mary O’Reilly- Staunton/Navan O’Mahony’s Bursary

 

Mary O’Reilly-Staunton died from non-Hodgkin Lymphoma at the relatively young age of 56. Her lifetime was spent in the field of education, initially as a secondary school teacher and later as an Occupational Therapist, working with adults who were experiencing various degrees of intellectual, emotional, psychological and physical disabilities. Mary’s family is honoured and privileged to have established, in conjunction with Navan O’Mahony’s C.L.G., the Mary O’Reilly-Staunton/Navan O’Mahony’s Trust foundation. The foundation awards, annually, with the aim to support the third level studies of innovative individuals at a recognised third level institution within the Republic of Ireland. Each bursary is for the duration of just one academic year, but successful candidates will not be disqualified from applying for subsequent bursaries.

 

Four bursaries of €1,000 each will be awarded.
