The 1916 Bursary is available at participating Colleges all over Ireland

“The 1916 Bursary has had a very positive impact on my life. I had a poor childhood and the struggle with the money continued in my adult life. When I received the Bursary, I was able to save a bit of money also I got a small loan and I bought myself a better car.”

“The Bursary allowed me to live in a place I want to live and have experiences that I wouldn’t have, had I stayed at home.”

“The Bursary has had a very positive impact on my life.  It enabled me to study for the music degree, which I have wanted to do for many years but couldn’t because of lack of finances.  The degree has greatly enhanced my professional abilities and prospects as a music teacher.”  

“The 1916 Bursary positively impacted my life. It provided me with financial aid throughout my four years in college. I decided to step away from part time work and give my full attention to my degree and my son. The bursary allowed me to do this.”

“I was a full-time working mother and a lone parent. I had always wanted to be a social care worker. I wouldn’t have been able to continue this course I was doing if not with the help of the 1916 Bursary.”
