2025 Scholarship Award Winners

People First Credit Union is committed to supporting our members with valuable financial services. We understand that starting third-level education can be a significant financial challenge, so to help ease the costs of registration fees, rent, travel, bills, books, and more, we award a total of €7,000 each year in Student Scholarships.

One student from each of our seven secondary schools within our common bond has been randomly selected to receive a €1,000 Scholarship Award. The winners were presented with their cheques at our AGM in the Killeshin Hotel Portlaoise on Wednesday 28th January 2026.
