This year five students were recognised as elite scholars for their huge contribution to sport.

SETU Carlow has established itself as one of the leading third level sporting institutions in Ireland and is quickly evolving into a modern hub for sporting excellence. Our state of the art sporting facilities and growing academic portfolio of sports related programmes means we are now in a position to attract the very best athletes, who are competing both nationally and internationally across a wide range of disciplines. In line with these developments 2015 saw the introduction of our elite scholarship strand where we recognise the very best athletes competing at the very highest level in their chosen sport.
