The National University of Ireland has granted funding of more than €1.2 million during 2016 to students and graduates of its four constituent universities.
Most of the 130 awards will be presented on 9 November at a formal ceremony taking place in Dublin at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.
The awards are granted after a competitive process involving students and graduates attending University Colleges Dublin and Cork, National University of Ireland Galway and Maynooth University.
