50ForFifty Scholarship Initiative

50ForFifty Initiative Celebrating 50 years

Celebrating 50 years  In 2022, the University of Limerick (UL) will celebrate its 50th Anniversary. UL Foundation is marking this major milestone with an ambitious new initiative aimed at securing fifty additional scholarships, through our new 50ForFifty initiative.

 There is no better way to celebrate the University’s first fifty years than by investing in tomorrow’s

leaders. Scholarships transform lives. They are one of the most impactful ways our donors can support UL students.

 Last year we provided financial assistance to more than 100 students but demand always far

outweighs supply and we want to go even further in 2022.

field; or advance priorities that are important to you. Generous financial backing from the University of Limerick means the Foundation commits 100% of your donation to the Scholarship.
