Education is one of the best gifts you can give, and I’m delighted to see that Kildare County Council have announced their bursary schemes for 2015. KCC is awarding two bursaries which are designed to provide an opportunity to study at third level to persons who may not be in a position to undertake a course of study, because of serious disadvantage or disability. These bursaries are as follows:

• The William G. Carroll Bursary is mainly, but not exclusively, for third level courses in the field of community development.
• The Kildare Education Bursary for People with Disabilities is for any third level course.

Applications are invited from persons living in County Kildare who wish to undertake a degree course at a recognised third level institution in Ireland. The course applied for must be at undergraduate level. For further inforamtion on these great schemes, please visit KCC’s website here.
