Four agricultural students were each awarded a John Feely scholarship by ICMSA president Pat McCormack on Friday 1 March.
Each scholarship is worth €1,500 and is intended to help students further their education in agriculture.
The scholarship was established to commemorate the memory of the late ICMSA president John Feely.
