All Ireland Scholarship Scheme???

crunchycorner

Does anybody know anything about these?
I got a letter about it today, does that mean that if i'm eligible for the scholarship i will get it?......or do i still have to be picked from a number of other students to get it cos they only give them to 100 students?

Em no....i think this is a different one....says it came from the higher education, equity of access......

Hey I got a letter from the All Ireland Scholarship too! I'm the same as you...havent a clue about it really!! Sent it off today!

Just going to keep my fingers crossed for the next 2-3 weeks in the vain hope I might get it!! Omg what 6750eur could do for my education cannot be described!! No having to work and miss out on the social life of college!!

Good luck with it crunchycorner!

Xtina!!

Sorry I was offered one aswell, forgot to mention!!!:D

Ive heard nothing of this, but looked at the criteria and see that I am eligble. Anyone know where/how I can apply?

Xtina!!

Im not sure if you can apply, I dont know. Ours just came in the post one day and we were offered one best on our academic achievements, and seeing as it was from the Dept of Education, it is based on both LC and JC results I guess. They are giving 100 scholarships, and it is a minimum of 2 per county, and you must meet certain criteria like having a medical card etc. Its the Dept who is doing it as far as I know so I dont think you can apply. Its an award for students chosen by the state, and there is no guarantee that you would even get one, but I think mines in the bag! (I hope!)

This seems to be it.

Jammyc

Ahh I see. Righty so! Well best of luck to all of ye!

newyorkdoll

Thanks Jammyc!

Did anybodys school get notified about it?

does anyone know have all the 100 scholarships on offer been offered already. what points did any of you above got selected get in your leaving cert results. Had hoped i would qualify 490 points,

crunchycorner

I don't know but I presume they sent them all out at the one time, you could always ring them up to find out. I got 525 btw

reap-a-rat

if they're giving two per county and there's 100 to be given, how does that figure???

ncef4208

they guarantee two to each of the 26 counties, and the remainder are divided up between those counties, where most people qualify, in cork last year there was six, in limerick there was 5 in laois there was four, .anyway delighted for everybody who got it, you had to have real high results and so they are well deserved. Enjoy and have a ball at college.

I would love to know the answer to that myself!!

They called me yesterday to let me know I got it if I turned down the BOI scholarship, which I did because they give you less.

ncef4208

If you were offered one already, offers went out nearly two weeks ago now, so if you were not offered then, yu did not get one, unless somebody does not still fit the criteria, which is still having medical card, and also qualifying for higher education grant, then they will be rejected and scholarship offered to someone else, doubt it very much if anyones circumstances in this recession will have changed since they applied, so unless you were offered one last week, you won't be. LIke myself will ust have to keep doing the part time job.

littlegalwaygal

has anyone else heard back from them?

coislifebliain6

i just read that you wont be offered it until you register with your university. I got a course in DCU and registration there doesnt take place there for another two weeks. Im hoping thats why they havent replied back on to me!

newyorkdoll

hey got a call from them today. I just have to get my uni to fill out a few forms to prove that I have got a course there and that I am registered there and hopefully ill be sorted when that happens!!

Coislifebliain6 dont worry! I wont be able to get my forms filled until the second week of september. I called them and they were cool about it!!

Best of luck to all of you! Hope you hear soon!!

coislifebliain6

thanks for your help and support newyorkdoll! I'll be waiting anxiously by the phone for the next few days!!

Hey! Im one of the Kerry winners! Not fermanagy, but sure we're all in the same boat!;) I tried aswell a few times and it doesnt work for me either. In the form it says once you have accepted the scholarship i.e. sent off the acceptance form then you must register online. I suppose they will set up the accounts and usernames once they have received notification of whose accepting the scholarships.

legendman69

thanks for the reply....but the problem is just gettin onto the website. when i type it in it wont come up anymore, it was workin this morning ok,but now that namesco website appears, if u try it right now do u have the same problem?it could be just maintenance whilst they update the site...i duno..
