About the Scholarships: The McGinty Scholarships were established in 2020 by alumna Dr Geraldine McGinty, a physician executive and radiologist, to empower a new cohort of women who will lead improved and impactful outcomes for patients and healthcare staff.
The scholarships specifically aim to encourage and enable female physicians and allied healthcare professionals to engage in the MBA programme at University of Galway, and to support them on a career path to leadership in the healthcare sector. The McGinty Scholarships are available each year to support two women, one physician and one allied healthcare professional. Scholarship recipients receive dedicated mentorship from leading females in the healthcare industry.
