Whether you're heading to college, starting an apprenticeship or enrolling in a PLC course, many credit unions across Ireland offer scholarships and bursaries to help members with the cost of further education.
Collectively, credit unions provide almost €750,000 in scholarships and bursaries each year. Around one in three credit unions in the Republic of Ireland and one in five in Northern Ireland offer a scholarship or bursary programme, helping members take the next step in their educational journey.
The list below highlights some of the scholarship and bursary programmes available through participating credit unions. As opportunities vary across the movement, we also encourage you to contact your local credit union to find out what educational supports may be available in your area.
