The Aisling Bursaries are part of the fabric of West Belfast and are awarded by West Belfast Partnership Board to the young and the not so young to enable them to take, begin, continue or return to vocational training or academic studies. Sponsors of the Aisling Education Bursaries include businesses, community enterprises, families and individuals.
Geraldine McAteer, CEO of West Belfast Partnership, said: “We are delighted that Driving Theory Belfast are once again showing their support for West Belfast by sponsoring an Aisling Bursary.
“On behalf of the Aisling Committee, staff and Board of the Partnership I would like to thank them for their continued support for the Aisling Bursaries and for the community of West Belfast.
“The Aisling Bursaries are integral to West Belfast Partnership Board’s commitment to the importance of education in the regeneration of our local community.
“West Belfast Partnership Board would like to thank Driving Theory Belfast and all our wonderful sponsors who have supported us and the community of West Belfast over the past 20 years by donating £665,000 to 806 recipients to help them realise their dream of entering further/higher education or vocational training.
