What an amazing achievement this is.
Former Mountrath Community School student Katy White (20) has been elected to the position of scholar in Trinity College Dublin.
The Trinity Scholars were announced Monday April 20 and Katy, who is studying medicine, was included as a medicine Scholar.
Scholars are selected on the basis of a special examination, taken in January of second year of undergraduate study.
Scholars are entitled to have their course fees waived, campus accommodation and food for the remainder of their college years.
Katy is no stranger to academic success as she was one of three Laois students to achieve 625 points in her Leaving Cert in 2018.
Katy was also awarded for receiving the best Leaving Cert biology results in the country.
This is an amazing achievement and certainly lifts the gloom of lockdown for her and her family.
