The scholarship shall be called "The Michael P. Mortell Scholarship in Applied Mathematics".

Eligibility

The scholarship shall be awarded annually based on the results of the Summer First-Year University Examination to a student in Science. Those students who achieve 70% of the marks available in the First-Year Science Examination in the Applied Mathematics modules in CK407 or CK408, would be eligible for the award of this Scholarship.

The scholarship shall be used exclusively for the purpose of pursuing a BSc (Hons) Degree at University College Cork in which Applied Mathematics is one of the subjects. For a Single Honours degree, the Applied Mathematics contribution should be at least 20 credits in Year 2 and at least 25 credits in subsequent years. For a Joint Honours degree, the Applied Mathematics contribution should be at least 15 credits in Year 2 and at least 20 credits in subsequent years. The Scholarship Board, which will award the scholarship, shall consist of the Head of Department of Applied Mathematics, together with the permanent members of staff in Applied Mathematics.

The value of the scholarship shall be €1,000 per annum and the scholarship shall normally be tenable for the student's undergraduate years. The Scholarship will be paid in one instalment during Semester 1.  Students who are also in receipt of Higher Education Grants or other such awards may not receive the full value of the scholarship if the rules governing the other awards restrict the total amount of support that a student may receive in any one year. In the event of the scholarship not being awarded in a particular year, an additional scholarship or prize, valid for one year only, may, at the discretion of the Board, be awarded in the following year. The scholarship may be withdrawn if the attendance, progress or conduct of the scholar concerned, whether through illness or otherwise, is not considered satisfactory by the Scholarship Board.
