OC78 has pledged to raise €20,000 annually for six years to support a bursary student throughout their time at Clongowes. Since the launch of the Alberto Hurtado Bursary program in 2007, Clongowes has transformed lives. Over 70 students have seized the opportunity to realize their potential by completing their secondary education at Clongowes.For every AHP student there is a remarkable story of challenge and resilience.
In the words of a former AHP Student:‘Looking back on my time in Clongowes, though I may have not realised it then in the hustle and bustle of daily student life, each day was gradually preparing me for the world outside Clongowes and influencing the man I was to be. Without doubt, my acceptance onto the Alberto Hurtado Programme has afforded me opportunities that I could never have imagined growing up in my home town and has shaped my personal growth as well as my direction in life’.
The AHP offers opportunity to boys who might otherwise not fulfil their potential and has become an integral part of life at Clongowes. The programme's impact has been profoundly positive for the entire Clongowes community
Martin Wallace, recently retired Deputy Headmaster has seen the positive impact of the AHP on the School and the wider Clongowes Community:‘As someone with the overview that comes from forty-four years’ experience of the College; I have no doubt that the tolerance and appreciation of diversity that operates now in the school has been shaped significantly by the AHP.’
Thank you for your support
