South East Technological University - SETU Carlow Sports Scholarships

SETU Carlow Sports Scholarships

You get a support package to help you train and compete while you study at South East Technological University's Carlow campus. Most of it is services rather than cash: strength and conditioning coaching, physiotherapy, sports psychology, and access to the university's sports facilities. You also get financial help towards costs like accommodation, coaching and specialised training equipment. The programme runs in tiers, from Emerging Talent up to Gold and Elite scholarships for athletes competing at national and international level.
