Marino Institute of Education - Irish Language Third- Level Scholarships

Benefit

You get a one-off scholarship of 500 EUR for doing the most to promote the Irish language. The Marino Institute of Education (MIE) in Dublin awards it. It is one of up to 20 scholarships MIE gives each year across five categories, including this Irish-language one (Cur Chun Cinn na Gaeilge). MIE also accepts other Irish-language scholarships awarded elsewhere, such as Gaeltacht and Commemoration Scholarships, which are based on your Leaving Certificate results (the Irish school-leaving exam).

Eligibility

• Entry route: You applied through the CAO (Central Applications Office), the national system for applying to Irish undergraduate courses.

• Field of study: Any undergraduate programme at MIE counts.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.

How to apply

You fill in an online form. You add a 500-word statement on how you have helped promote Irish, plus two testimonials. Applications open in autumn, and winners are honoured at a ceremony in November or December.
