Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 May 2017
305. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills the details of all scholarship programmes open and common to students of third level institutions; the process by which programmes can be accessed in each case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19238/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe information requested by the Deputy on third level scholarships funded by my Department is available on the studentfinance.ie and education.ie websites. The link to the relevant pages is as follows:
http://www.education.ie/en/Learners/Services/Scholarships/ .
My Department does not have a list of scholarships managed by the Higher Education Institutions. They are generally funded through private philanthropy and therefore managed at local level by the HEIs themselves. Information on the scholarships and the associated processes involved in applying for the scholarships are available on the HEI websites.
The HEA website lists all of the HEI websites and the relevant link is as follows: http://hea.ie/content/funded-institutions-0.
In addition the Irish Research Council (IRC) offer a number of post-graduate scholarships and details of which can be accessed at:
