236 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Education and Science the grants available from his Department for a student (details supplied) in County Sligo who has won a scholarship to a United States university (details supplied) to study for a four year degree course in sports medicine; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11125/98]
The schemes of third level student support extend to full-time undergraduate courses of not less than two years duration which are pursued in Ireland or other EU member states. Courses pursued in countries outside the EU are not approved for grant purposes.
My Department has no scheme under which funding is available to students taking up a sports scholarship for study in the United States of America.
