The Ireland Institute
co-ordinates the American Ireland Fund Rooney Fellowship.
Named in honour of Daniel M. Rooney, co-founder of the Ireland

student of Southern Regional College, Northern Ireland.
The fellowship provides the opportunity for a student to
undertake a one-year undergraduate business program at the
University of Pittsburgh or Duquesne University and to participate
in an internship program with the Heinz Corporation and
the Pittsburgh Steelers Football Club.
