The Society of St. Vincent de Paul recognises the importance of further education. However, for many people accessibility and affordability are real barriers to obtaining a third level education and training.
The SVP Education and Training Bursary Fund has been established to support students of all ages who may financially struggle to access or stay in third level education and training programmes.
The Bursary Programme will consider all recognised third level education and training programmes for funding. However, postgraduate studies (Master or PhD) or private colleges are not eligible.
*Please note that the East Region (Dublin, Kildare & Wicklow) Education Bursary is now closed to new applicants**
