Lee Hotels Scholarship for Hospitality Students
Lee Hotels is a family owned Irish company with two 4* Star Hotels in Ireland. The Sligo Park Hotel & Leisure Club opened in 1976 and the Mespil Hotel Dublin in 1995. Both hotels are centrally located and offer quality and personal service, modern & stylish facilities, relaxation and comfort. Located on the banks of the Grand Canal at Baggot St Bridge, The Mespil Hotel offers an unbeatable location, within walking distance to some of Dublin’s most popular attractions, including St. Stephen’s Green, Grafton Street, Merrion Square, Ballsbridge and Herbert Park.
Lee Hotels have been a valued supporter of TU Dublin since 2019, when they launched the inaugural scholarship programme for 2nd year Hospitality students. This scholarship not only provides financial support for a student in their 2nd and 3rd year, but offers an invaluable industry relationship, as well as placement and career opportunities.
Jill O’Lone, Donor Stewardship Coordinator said,
Scholarships play a crucial role in encouraging, supporting and empowering students. Lee Hotels are generously providing students with the resources they need to excel academically and professionally, and we are very grateful for their ongoing support
