Billy Briggs Scholarship
The Billy Briggs Memorial Scholarship program provides a once-in-a-lifetime educational opportunity for students, ages 15-17 who are interested in exploring, enhancing, and celebrating their Irish culture. It is designed to educate students in the Irish Language and Culture through a three-week program that is held each summer at the Colaiste Gael Linn Irish Cultural College in County Donegal.
​
“Irish Billy” Briggs was the owner of Tir na nOg, Hamilton Avenue’s resident Irish pub, and a founding member of the Trenton St. Patrick’s Day Parade committee and of the Ancient Order of Hibernians - Joe Cahill Division 10. Billy had a great passion for Ireland and its people. Billy passed away in 2008 and the scholarship was developed to continue spreading the Irish culture to local students in his memory.
