Sporting Fingal F.C. launches new Scholarships
Dublin City University and Institute of Technology Blanchardstown to partner football club's educational initiative. Sporting Fingal F.C., the community-based League of Ireland Club, is introducing a Third Level scholarship scheme for players attached to the Club. The scheme is being run in collaboration with Dublin City University (DCU) and the Institute of Technology Blanchardstown (ITB).
The Scheme, which will commence for the 2009/2010 Academic year, will enable players attached to Sporting Fingal to apply for Sports Scholarships with either DCU or ITB. Through the Scheme, which is kindly supported by the Dublin Airport Authority, Sporting Fingal F.C. will assist players who wish to develop a Third Level qualification while simultaneously pursuing a professional football career. "I believe that this is a tremendous initiative" says Liam Buckley, Director of Football of Sporting Fingal F.C. "This compares favourably with what I have experienced in Europe and will hugely support our plans for long term player development".
