Aoife Cunningham
The Kevin Boushel Memorial Scholarship Recipient 2022
In midst of the current cost of living crisis, being awarded The Kevin Boushel Memorial Scholarship has allowed me to study at a postgraduate level without the pressure associated with trying to fund my desire to learn. Upon graduating from UCD Smurfit School, I plan to work towards becoming a fully qualified chartered accountant. The wonderful thing about having an accounting qualification in addition to a degree from UCD Smurfit School is that it opens a wide array of opportunities, both in Ireland and abroad.
