Grainne O’Shea, MSc Emergency Management & 30% Club Scholarship

The 30% scholarship has been the greatest opportunity I’ve been awarded in my life so far. I went into the application process doubtful that I would be successful. I then got shortlisted for the interview stage which was a huge surprise to me. As a mature adult candidate, I had believed that someone younger and more established in the business arena would be the recipient. The evening I learned that I had been selected as the scholarship recipient was one of the highlights of my adult life and hopefully the beginning of a pathway into a leadership career in Emergency management. While I’d always been ambitious, I never had the financial means to do this course. I love education, I love learning and developing new skills. This scholarship award in DCU Business School has given me a wonderful new network of friends and hopefully future colleagues in this field.
