DCU Student Arts Bursary Awards

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences extends congratulations to this year's recipients of the DCU Arts Bursary Awards which is run by the DCU Office of Student Life and DCU Educational Trust. The initiative was established in 2009 and offers a limited number of Arts Bursaries to full-time students involved in the Arts. A total of eight bursaries were awarded including three awards made to students from the School of Communications.

Sinead Mooney

She is keen to develop her artistic talent and was particularly inspired to write a series of connected poems documenting her experiences of each month in 2021. Sinead will be publishing a selection of her poems titled 'Hindsight is 2021' which will include a bonus exclusive poem in the zine as well as photographic elements.
