Marisa Malayil
Indian Academic Excellence Scholarship Recipient 2022
I chose UCD Smurfit School for my postgraduate study as it is one of the highest ranked universities in Europe with diverse student body and ample opportunities to get involved in extracurricular activities. After Smurfit, I’m determined to start a business that will positively impact the wider community. As the eldest of my family, there has been pressure for earning and funding household expenses, but UCD Smurfit School’s Indian Academic Excellence Scholarship immensely helps in easing that burden on myself as well as on my family. Securing a scholarship has greatly helped me in managing my living and studying expenses here in Ireland and has also made my parents proud!

To be able to attend UCD Smurfit School is a dream-come-true achievement for me! Upon graduation, I would like to become a Clinical Project Manager. I want to do my part in making the world a better place by working towards providing everyone with access to affordable medical care for a better tomorrow. As an active member within UCD Smurfit School’s extracurricular activities, I am giving back to UCD Smurfit School for awarding me with the Indian Academic Excellence Scholarship by acting as a Student Ambassador.
