Cashel Student Receives Prestigious Fr Tom Burke Bursary at National Science Exhibition
409
A gifted Cashel student has earned national recognition after being awarded one of the most prestigious special prizes at this year’s Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (StripeYSTE). Oisín Howley was presented with the Fr Tom Burke Bursary, a highly respected award that celebrates excellence in scientific communication. The Fr Tom Burke Bursary is regarded as one of the most significant honours at the exhibition, ranking among the largest awards outside of the top overall category winners. It is presented to the individual or group participant deemed by judges to be the best communicator during the event. Unlike awards that focus solely on scientific results or innovation, this bursary places strong emphasis on how clearly and confidently students can explain their work. Judges assess the participant’s ability to communicate complex ideas in an accessible and engaging way, while demonstrating a deep understanding of their research and its relevance. The award is a founder’s bursary and honours the legacy of Rev. Dr Tom Burke, recognising not only academic excellence but also the vital role communication

Oisin’s achievement has been warmly welcomed in Cashel, where pride in his success extends beyond the exhibition hall. He was supported throughout his project by his teacher, Mr TJ Quinn, who was praised for his guidance, encouragement, and commitment to nurturing scientific curiosity and confidence in students. StripeYSTE is one of Ireland’s most important platforms for young innovators, promoting critical thinking, creativity, and problem solving among second level students. Receiving a bursary of this standing highlights not just scientific ability, but leadership, confidence, and the capacity to inspire others. The award shines a positive spotlight on Cashel’s next generation of talent and reflects the strong educational support available to students locally. Congratulations were extended to Oisín Howley on receiving this very special honour, which marks a significant milestone in his academic journey and points toward a bright future.
