Overview

This fund was established in 1972 from the proceeds of the sale of property belonging to the County Antrim Grand Jury at the time of its dissolution. The representatives of the Grand Jury, with the approval of the Ministry of Finance (now the Northern Ireland Department of Finance), gave the sum of £4,356 for the promotion and encouragement of legal education in the University.

Further Information

No award of a bursary shall be made if it has the effect of reducing an award or grant from any other source. Grants from the income of the fund may be made in lieu of or in addition to such bursaries to persons qualified as above, who may thereby be assisted in the promotion or encouragement of legal education.
