In collaboration with the Woodvale-Lowry Joint Venture, South West College is delighted to announce the launch of the Strule Achievement Grant, designed to promote excellence in the construction industry and support the future workforce.
Two awards of £1,500 will be paid to the grant recipients and the initiative forms part of the Woodvale-Lowry Joint Venture’s ongoing investment in education, training and opportunity with the Omagh Community. The sponsorship of these awards reflects their shared passion for developing the skills and expertise that will enable future generations to contribute to the delivery of high-calibre, sustainable and community-focused construction projects, such as the Strule Shared Education Campus in Omagh.
The Strule Achievement grant is open to South West College students who completed their foundation degree in the 2024-2025 academic year and have demonstrated strong commitment, enthusiasm and potential for a career in construction or civil engineering.
Celebrating the announcement of this new grant, Celine McCartan, Principal and Chief Executive of South West College said;
“This collaboration with the Woodvale-Lowry Joint Venture highlights the strong link between education and industry here in Omagh. The Strule Achievement Grant is a meaningful way to recognise the hard work of our students while supporting the next generation of skilled professionals who will help deliver the infrastructure of tomorrow.”
The closing date for the receipt of applications is Friday 24th October.
Applications must be submitted in hard copy to William J Young, Strule Achievement Grant, Omagh Campus, 2 Mountjoy Road, Omagh, BT79 7AH.
Applications will be considered from those students who completed foundation degrees on a part time, full time or HLA basis in Construction or Civil Engineering.
