Student Bursary Recipients 2025

Progressive Credit Union is proud to support the educational ambitions of young people within our community. We recognise that education plays a vital role in personal and community growth  and we also understand the financial challenges that come with it.

Each year, through our Community and Social Responsibility Reserve, PCU proudly supports local students continuing their education. For 2025, we are honoured to award the Martin Mullen RIP, Sharon Friel RIP, and Noeleen Culbert RIP Education Bursaries, five bursaries valued at €3,000 each, to assist with college expenses.

This year’s successful recipients are:

• Ella Cormack
• Karl Noonan
• Kate McFadden
• Orin Herbert
• Sam McSweeney

We are delighted to play a part in supporting local students as they begin their third-level journey. This bursary will help them with the costs of starting college and give them a strong foundation as they take this important step in their education.
