The SCC student bursary award scheme has been in operation since 1992. Renamed the Niall Smyth Memorial Bursary in 2003 to honour the memory of Niall Smyth, a teacher in Plunket College, who died suddenly in September 2002. Niall was actively involved in many SCC activities.
The scheme is there to assist CDVEC students to achieve their potential in their particular Sporting or Cultural endeavours. To date, around twenty students per year have benefited from the Bursary scheme in the following disciplines:
Sport - Gaelic Games, Soccer, Athletics, Sports for the disabled, Basketball, Tennis, Badminton, Canoeing, Canoe Polo, Hockey, Kick Boxing, Cycling, Karate and Judo.
Cultural - Public Speaking, Creative Writing, Music, Drama, Dance, Art and Photography.

2. Specify one activity/event for which they are seeking assistance.
3. Supply a letter from organization/club or governing body of their activity to state that they have been selected for special event/tuition/coaching/courses/workshops.

5. All applications have to be signed by the school/college Principal.Please note that normal day-to-day club expenses such as travel and equipment expenses are not covered under the terms of this grant-aid scheme.
