Quercus College Scholarships for students of UCC’ School of Nursing and Midwifery
A scholarship programme that supports and promotes excellence in academia, sport, creative and performing arts, active citizenship & innovation/entrepreneurship.
University College Cork’s College of Medicine and Health Quercus College Scholarships were awarded by Professor Helen Whelton (Head of College of Medicine and Health), Professor Stephen Byrne (Deputy President & Registrar) and Professor Josephine Hegarty (Head of School of Nursing and Midwifery), UCC in the Dr Dora Allman Room, The Hub, UCC on Thursday 23rd March 2023. The Quercus Talented Students' Programme is a scholarship programme that supports and promotes excellence in academia, sport, creative and performing arts, active citizenship & innovation/entrepreneurship. Quercus is the Latin for oak - or Arabic for cork- the cork that is derived from the cork oak in Iberia. AT UCC we use the symbolism ‘from acorn to mighty oak’ to represent the growth that arises from nurturing talent through support, challenge and mentoring both academically and in other areas of talent.
