Funding for postgrad courses.. ?

carl_d

Well hello!! Does anyone out there have any information regarding funding for postgraduate courses in the ROI? I am interested in applying for postgraduate courses in psychology and some of the courses are as much as 10,000 euro per year.. A few friends of mine completed undergraduate courses and since they lived in the north they got funding for studing 'abroad'.. ha. So basically what im wondering is whether people have to arrange that money themselves or are there funding organisations, such as the library board which provides such funding for the North??

Spank you very much

The Maintenance Grants Scheme for Students attending Post Leaving Certificate Courses is open to candidates who are entering approved Post Leaving Certificate courses for the first time in the academic year in question.

The eligibility conditions are generally the same as those for the Higher Education Grants Scheme. You must be at least 16 years of age at the start of the course. Grants are available for full-time approved Post Leaving Certificate courses of at least one year duration at approved Post Leaving Certificate centres. The list of approved centres is available from your local vocational education committee (VEC).

I am sure this is correct, but it is not helpful to a student from the North wishing to do a postgraduate course, albeit one who might have phrased his question better.
