    Anyone know when they actually start paying out the scholarship? Is it before or after the Awards ceremony?

    I was 99% sure I'd get it because of my results and I definitely qualify. I got in contact and it seems there was a mess up with my address, stating I live in a different county than I actually do so she said my letter will come out mid October after the rechecks! :D
    It seems they hold some scholarships aside for recheck results and silly mistakes like the one that was made with me. So it will definitely be after mid october and probably after the awards.
    I'm just seriously hoping and praying for this magical letter to arrive mid October! :D

    I could login right after I got the formal offer letter.

    The closing date for entering any details on the website was the 10th October, where are you getting monday from? If you manage to login all you have to do is upload a photo of yourself using the form.

    There's no "catch" to the scholarship. You're allowed to get it and the maintenance grant at the same time.

    As for the biography that'll probably just be used to compile a "Winner's profiles" book or something that they'll hand out to everyone at the ceremony.

    I'm trying to fill out the biography thing now and it feels so wierd talking about yourself in the third person!

    "Mary is from Co.Clare and has two brothers" .. wtf!

    Is everyone else following the examples yeah? It looks so stupid! :cool:

    No that sounds nice! I got a black dress in bershka today and am going to wear it with tights and heels too. I think it's a pretty formal affair so I'd say we'll all be the same. Did anyone get any info as to where we're meeting, where we go and at what time etc?!

    I got an email a few days ago that said that we have to be there to register before 10am in the Foundation Building in UL (I have no idea :/). that was it really!
