Three local students were among 593 students awarded prestigious Entrance Exhibition Awards for the 2024/5 academic year from Trinity College Dublin.

The awards were delivered at three ceremonies at Trinity's Old Dining Hall, starting on 21 January to which the students and their school principals were invited

Students awarded include Eliza Heaslip from Our Lady's Bower, Ciara Fallon from Athlone Community College, and Camilla Boscetti from Moate Community School.

The awards go to students accepted into the first year of a full-time undergraduate degree programme who achieved the highest points among Trinity entrants from their secondary school, above a minimum of 500 CAO points (or equivalent).

Many former awardees have gone on to make a significant contribution to the economic, cultural, and political life of Ireland and beyond. Past Exhibitioners include former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.
