About this award / prize

What you get

You will receive a cash prize of around 750 EUR and a medal, which is awarded on a one-off basis. The exact amount varies slightly from year to year, as it is paid from the proceeds of a fund set up specifically for this purpose. University College Cork (UCC) awards this prize every year in memory of Edward Cahill, the first Professor of Accounting at UCC from 1988 to 2005.

  • University: You’re studying at University College Cork in Ireland.
  • Grades: You’ve got the best overall marks in your graduating year. Only the best student wins.
  • Nationality: Any nationality can apply.

How to apply

No application is required. The prize is automatically awarded to the top graduate of the graduating year, based solely on their examination results.
