Analog devices invests €125,000 in UL scholarship programme

Analog Devices Ireland today announced a partnership with the University of Limerick's engineering faculty to develop a scholarship programme valued at in excess of €125,000.

The Scholarship Fund is being established in memory of the late Hank Krabbe, the founding Managing Director of Analog Devices in Limerick.

"We are investing €125,000 in this important initiative as we believe that it is very important to play our part in encouraging young people to select engineering as an exciting and rewarding career choice," said Ray Stata, co-founder and chairman of Analog Devices.

"We believe that this scholarship programme will act as an incentive to young people to consider studying engineering and also hope that that possibility of securing the Hank Krabbe medal will help set new standards in academic excellence."

The Analog Devices scholarship will be awarded to the top student after first year in Electronic Engineering annually for the next four years in UL. The Hank Krabbe medal will be accompanied by a cheque of €5,000 and a €7,000 payment will be made prior to beginning Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4.
