About the Fund
We wanted to create a scholarship that would run in perpetuity. With that in mind, we realised that we would need to raise a large lump sum up front. This would allow us to award the scholarship each year from the interest earned.
We have a minimum target of €30,000 which should allow for an annual prize in excess of €1,000. For example, if the fund performs at 4% in any given year, the prize awarded would be €1,200 (€30,000 x 4%).
Once raised, this money will be transferred to UCC and will be managed centrally with all other UCC Scholarship monies.
100% of your donation goes to the fund and any money you donate now, will form the foundation of the Dr. Elmer Morrissey Memorial Scholarship.
In the future we may need to add to the fund to keep up with inflation. So stay tuned to find out about future fundraising efforts!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
