Football Association of Ireland - STUDENT TRAVELCARD Soccer Scholarship Scheme
STUDENT TRAVELCARD in association with the Football Association of Ireland are proud to announce the introduction of a new Soccer Scholarship Scheme for a former Schools International who has represented his school at Interprovincial and International level and has gone into further education following his leaving certificate:
This year, the prestigious accolade was awarded to Waterford’s Brian Nolan, who is a past pupil of St: Paul’s Community College in the City: Brian played in the Interprovincial series for Munster last year and his performance merited a call up to the International squad where he featured heavily:
Brian completed his Leaving Certificate in June and is now completing a business degree in Waterford IT:
Brian has an International cap at U17 level and was capped for FAI Schools in 08/09 and 09/10:
Nolan is playing with Waterford Bohemians now and enjoying the season ahead:
Brian will be presented with a bursary of €1,000 courtesy of STUDENT TRAVELCARD while availing of the amazing discounts on offer as part of their STUDENT TRAVELCARD: Nolan will also be given the opportunity to progress his coaching qualifications with free access to the FAI’s Kick Start 1 and 2 Coaching Courses as well as employment on the FAI’s Summer Soccer Camps over the Summer period: He will be awarded a complimentary League of Ireland pass as well as branded FAI gear for the academic year:
The Football Association of Ireland wish Brian well in his academic and sporting future and hope the scheme assists him in the continuation of his sporting endeavours:
