STEM student Niamh to receive scholarship

Lecarrow, Co. Roscommon student Niamh Corcoran was among the students from University of Galway to receive scholarships as part of Johnson & Johnson’s Women in STEM2D (WiSTEM2D) Undergraduate Award Programme, recognising outstanding female students in STEM2D disciplines (science, technology, engineering, math, manufacturing and design).

Each recipient will receive a student award, industry mentoring, and leadership training, along with the opportunity to attend careers workshops, visit Johnson & Johnson sites, and participate in WiSTEM2D events designed to support them with pursuing future STEM careers.

The Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D programme fuels the development of the female STEM2D talent pipeline by awarding and sponsoring girls and women at critical points in their educational experience and their careers, within STEM disciplines.

The Undergraduate programme was first introduced at University of Limerick in 2016. Since then, it has expanded to include University College Cork in 2018, University of Galway in 2021, and Munster Technological University in 2022, supporting more than 400 female students over the last six years.
