2023 Líofa Gaeltacht Bursary Scheme Open For Applications
The 2023 Líofa Gaeltacht Bursary Scheme, which provides attendees with an opportunity to immerse themselves in an Irish speaking community, increase their knowledge and use of Irish through attending classes whilst taking part in a wide range of cultural activities including sport and music through the medium of Irish, is now open for applications.
The Gaeltacht Bursary Scheme is open to students whose parents are in receipt of a means-tested benefit, or adult learners in receipt of one of the qualifying benefits. As demand for the bursary is very high, preference is given to those adults or students who have not previously received a bursary and who meet the criteria set out in the application form.
Applications can be made online or by contacting Líofa directly on 028 9051 5114.
The scheme will close on the 17 February 2023 and successful applicants will be notified by the end of March 2023.
