TU Dublin and Chadwicks Group are proud to announce the launch of the Chadwicks Group Scholarship Programme, created to support students in the University’s Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment. Introduced in February 2024, this inaugural programme will provide financial assistance to two outstanding students for the duration of their studies, allowing them to focus on their education and future careers.

On Thursday, September 27th, Patrick Atkinson, CEO of Chadwicks Group, visited the TU Dublin Grangegorman Campus to meet the TU Dublin Access team and one of the first recipients of the Chadwicks Group Scholarship, Omar Hasan. The visit marked the start of an exciting chapter for both the university and its industry partner, Chadwicks Group.

This new scholarship programme further strengthens the relationship between TU Dublin and Chadwicks Group, as both organisations share a commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders in engineering and construction.

Speaking about the launch, Claire Dunne, Access Support Manager at TU Dublin, said, “Financial supports like the Chadwicks Scholarship provide a vital lifeline for students, empowering them to focus on their studies without the constant worry of financial pressures. This allows them to fully engage in university life and provides them with the resources needed to reach their full potential.”

Patrick Atkinson, CEO of Chadwicks Group, expressed the company’s enthusiasm for the programme, stating, Chadwicks Group is delighted to be able to present this scholarship programme to TU Dublin to support the education and development of students in the Engineering and Built environment. We are committed to investing in the future of the construction industry by helping students acquire the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their careers.  We wish the recipients every success in the future studies and careers and look forward to continuing to work with TU Dublin on this and other development projects.

TU Dublin’s Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment has 180 programs ranging from craft apprenticeships to short CPD courses, degree programmes to Masters. Collaboration with businesses, such as Chadwicks, ensures that its graduates acquire the required abilities and expertise to thrive in occupations in the built environment and engineering sectors.

Chadwicks Group, Ireland’s leading builders’ merchants, has been a valued partner of TU Dublin since 2022, when the company began supporting Ireland’s first Design + Construct Centre at TU Dublin Broombridge. The Chadwicks Group Scholarship Programme exemplifies the commitment of TU Dublin and its partners to providing students with the support they need to succeed. This Scholarship Programme will provide peace of mind and reassurance for the successful engineering students as they navigate their way through University.
