The Irish Research Council Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme including the Enterprise Partnership and the Andrew Grene Scholarships 2013-14 The Irish Research Council has launched the 2013-2014 round of its Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme, including the Enterprise Partnership and the Andrew Grene Scholarships. Following the merger of IRCHSS and IRCSET the Irish Reserch Council Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship subsumes the previous IRCSET Embark Scholarship and IRCHSS Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship. The Council funds excellent researchers across all disciplines and encourages interdisciplinary research and engagement with enterprise. The Council facilitates the career development of researchers by funding those at an early stage of their research career to associate with established research teams who have achieved international recognition for their work. The Council aims to support an expertise-driven research system in order to enhance Ireland’s innovation capacity and skills base in a rapidly changing global environment where knowledge is key to economic, social and cultural development. The Council is further committed to facilitating the integration of Irish researchers in all disciplines within the European Research Area. The Council offers three scholarships for suitably qualified individuals to pursue a postgraduate degree at a Higher Education Institution within Ireland, including the Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship, the Enterprise Partnership Postgraduate Scholarship and the Andrew Grene Postgraduate Scholarship in Conflict Resolution.
Applications will only be accepted through the electronic submission system, which will be launched in due course. All electronic applications must be submitted via the e-system following the relevant deadlines:

Teach Abroad Scholarship |

Award Details : |
Teach Abroad Scholarship In response to the rise in Graduate unemployment and the continuing weakness in the domestic graduate job market, we have developed a Graduate TEFL Programme. TEFL is the acronym for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, and there is a tremendous global demand for trained TEFL teachers. As a Social Enterprise, our profits are re-invested back into providing employment and training opportunities, and we are therefore able to offer a number of Full Scholarships onto the Programme (which usually costs £529.00) each year. Although primarily aimed at unemployed Graduates, Undergraduates are also eligible to apply for a scholarship and Final Year students in particular are encouraged to apply. In order to be considered for the next round of Scholarships, please send your CV and Cover Letter ASAP. Our Programme consists of two key strands:
The specific duties and remuneration you can expect when teaching abroad obviously varies depending on a range of factors, for example: location, size of school, type of school (private or state), age of students etc. One of the key roles of our Job Placement Service is to help you decide what would suit you best.
For more information about the Programme please take a look at our website: Basic Requirements:
Applications will be judged on their own merits and we do not wish to be overly prescriptive in terms of what we are looking for. Essentially, we want to know why you want to teach abroad and why you believe you should receive a Scholarship place. Enthusiasm and commitment are more important than previous teaching experience (though that may also be taken into account), and we would like to encourage as many people as possible from all disciplines to apply.
About English Language Centre (CIC) We are a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) - which means that all profits are reinvested back into providing more opportunities and helping more people. Our priority is to provide innovative training and employment opportunities, with a particular focus on tackling youth and graduate unemployment. English Language Centre CIC was started by the senior team of one of the longest established specialist English language providers in the UK – English Language Centre Online. After more than 20 years providing English language training and consultancy across the world, we decided it was time to give something significant back, and English Language Centre CIC is the result. As regards TEFL, our senior team have successfully delivered TEFL training programmes and employment opportunities to over 6000 people worldwide.
