THE £400,000-worth of scholarships announced by Employment and Learning Minister Dr Stephen Farry will be targeted at the ICT sector, advanced manufacturing and food and drink processing sectors.
The Minister believes these scholarships will enable higher education to continue to strengthen local industry through the provision of an increased pool of highly skilled graduates in STEM-related sectors. Between them, Northern Ireland’s two universities have received funding to provide 90 scholarships across a range of Masters courses.
