    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..

    Oh wait it is going onto that namesco website actually! Tried it yesterday and I got onto the website ok but couldnt log in. They might be updating it. There seems to be very little mentioned about the 2009 scholarships on the website (as far as I am aware). Im sure theres no need to worry, I cant get on either so therefore everyone else could be having problems too. As long as my acceptance is sent Im not going to worry for the moment. But a bit worried now as Im deferring mine for the year and there seemed to be no mention of it in the letter.:confused:

    Well the people who had posted originally posted a number of days ago when they received their letters. I was able to get onto the site yesterday, but neither of us can get in now. No one else has posted on this thread yet today.... But Im sure you wont look out of place! It does look like a very prestigious event and looks like Batte o keeffe will be there, so its a big occasion. Looking forward to it though! Where did you read the sample biography? Was it on that site?

    Ive logged onto the website but I havent actually written out my biography yet or chosen a picture! The sample biography is written in the third person, so do we have to write in the third person too? Deadline is 30th of September isnt it? Havent uploaded a picture yet either!:eek:

    I dont know really! You must have received an email from them today too. Dont know if it should be dressy dressy or casual dressy! It going to be quite a prestigious event.
    Do you have any ideas?

    Hi guys. Got this last year (and again this year) It was pretty formal last year. They have lots of pictures up on their facebook so you could probably get the general tone by looking at those. Well done to anyone who got it this year. It helps pay the rent that's for sure.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 littlegalwaygal


    oh lord i dont like the sound of that!!! i have no idea at all what to wear!! dress maybe?? but dont wanna look stupid! haha

    do we get the money again this year guys...?


  • Registered Users Posts: 79 ✭✭chicgroovy101


    Just wondering did ye all apply for this months before the leaving cert? Or did ye just get a letter out of the blue after your results? Is it only based on points in 5 subjects? And for the people that got accepted, what points did ye get?
