University of Galway recently presented the Tarpey Scholarships to students, Sara Hontz and Tara Lavelle.
The scholarships are part of the Hazel and Tanya Memorial Fund, which was set up by the Tarpey family in memory of their daughters who tragically died from a rare genetic autoimmune disease.
The Tarpey family have honoured the memory of their daughters by establishing a scholarship that presents two annual research student scholarships in University of Galway, one each in the School of Medicine and the School of Nursing and Midwifery.
