OWEN SHEEHY SKEFFINGTON MEMORIAL TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIP

A memorial was established in 1973 from funds contributed in memory of Dr Owen Sheehy Skeffington, which includes a travel scholarship (value €2,000) awarded in alternate years.  It is open to any student in third level education in Ireland (e.g. registered at a Regional Technical College, College of Technology, School of Art, University).

Selection will be made by the Travel Scholarship Committee on the educational merits of the applications received and with regard to the personal circumstances of the applicants.

The only limitation is that the award must be used for travel in France related to the development of the applicant’s course of study which need not necessarily include the French language. However, applicants must show clearly in their letter of application how the visit will benefit their work.

Please click here for Application Form.

Applicants should submit their case by Friday 1st April 2016, with the name of one person in the institution at which they registered to whom reference may be made, to:
