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 Wallace Family were delighted to continue his legacy and award the fifth annual Wallace Family Scholarship for Engineering in 2022 to Keith Ashton.
