"It's very fulfilling to help students, I love being able to give them support and encouragement when they need it. I got a lot of assistance from University College Dublin, so I like to pay something forward if I can. Without my UCD scholarship it would have been difficult for me to do my masters so I feel strongly about doing the same for other students to give them the same opportunity." UCD College of Engineering & Architecture alumnus Sankalp Sieghardt shares his experience in giving back to the community by supporting UCD student scholarships and mentoring.
