The Naughton Scholarships are a scheme
of scholarships to promote the study of engineering, science and technology at
third level by students in Ireland.
The Naughton Foundation was established
by Martin and Carmel Naughton in 1994. It is a private family foundation
and its goal is to support worthwhile causes in the arts and education.
In 2008 the foundation decided to create the scholarship programme to increase
our support for Leaving Certificate students who would like to study
engineering, science and technology at third level in Ireland.
Each year from February to May Leaving
Certificate students can apply for a scholarship if they intend on studying
science, engineering or technology at third level that year.
