SCOLÁIREACHT FOLEY
The National Building Agency Limited, in consultation with the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland and in line with the Agency's role in social housing, has established the NATIONAL BUILDING AGENCY FOLEY SCHOLARSHIP FOR ARCHITECTURE.
The Scholarship commemorates the late Dermot Foley who had been successively Managing Director and Chairman of the Agency for some 25 years. The Scholarship is designed to provide the opportunity to study Architecture to persons who, because of a disadvantaged background, might not otherwise be in a position to undertake the course of study. The funding of attendance at the course, even with the various supports available, is a real burden for students and families from disadvantaged backgrounds. A student obtaining a scholarship would be assured that a measure of financial assistance would be available to him/her for the duration of the course of study.
