The School of Mathematics & Statistics is delighted to announce Nicole Jacob as the 2024 winner of the Kastus Scholarship for Women in Mathematics & Statistics at TU Dublin.
The academic year 2024/25 marks the second year of the School of Mathematics & Statistics's partnership with Kastus to offer the Kastus Scholarship for Women in Mathematics & Statistics. The scholarship was very successful in 2023/24 and you can read about the experience of the first recipient, Megan Dooley, here.
The 2024 Kastus scholar, Nicole Jacob, is a second-year student of our BSc (Hons) Mathematical Sciences programme and, in her application, reflected on the challenges faced by women in pursuing STEM subjects, her inspirations and motivation in pursuing mathematics. She currently helps others with their mathematics and hopes her experiences benefit and inspire other students. On learning of her success, she commented:
"I think this scholarship is a great opportunity for women on our course and in general ... STEM subjects are for everyone."
The scholarship underscores the School's commitment to gender equality and the School of Mathematics & Statistics is delighted that Kastus has generously continued its funding of this scheme. The scholarship supports young women studying mathematics and statistics at TU Dublin. It provides a financial award to help them in their studies and allow them to focus on their ambitions and enjoyment of mathematics and statistics. Each Kastus scholar becomes a champion and role model for women in STEM (and mathematics, in particular), emphasising that mathematics is for everyone and that mathematics and statistics are made stronger by the diversity of those who participate.
Kastus Technologies is an Irish multinational nanotechnology company that specialises in patented, visible-light-activated, photocatalytic, antimicrobial coatings. These coatings prevent the growth of bacteria on surfaces such as ceramics, glass, and touchscreens, with no negative side effects for the end user. Founded in Dublin in 2014, Kastus’ antimicrobial coatings were in development for over 10 years as part of a collaboration with the then Dublin Institute of Technology and the Advanced Materials and Bio Engineering Research (AMBER) Centres.

Applications for the 2025 Wallace Family Scholarship are now open - Apply HERE
The Wallace Family Fund for Engineering was established in 2016 by engineer Paul Wallace, a graduate in 1958 from Bolton Street. It was with the financial support of a generous donor that Paul himself had the opportunity to study engineering at the then Dublin Institute of Technology. He went on to have a long and fruitful career as an engineer in both industry and academia. Sadly, shortly after establishing the fund Paul passed away at his home in the United States.
The aim of the Wallace Family Scholarships for Engineering is to award talented and committed students who will make their mark on the world of engineering. 1 new student is chosen for two years of support of €4,500 for their 3rd and 4th year of study. Students interested in applying for the Wallace Family Scholarship will be asked to demonstrate academic performance, their engagement with the world of engineering outside of the class room as well as their articulate their future career aspirations.
