A substantial number of Gaeltacht Scholarships are available to Comhaltas Uladh and Gael Linn Colleges. Please note; If you wish to be considered for a scholarship it is very important that you attend the feis.
The procedure is that all pupils will participate in Irish comhrá for their age group and the adjudicator(s) will recommend pupils for scholarships when all year groups have taken part in their respective competitions. Teachers will be informed of successful pupils in Spring time when we know how many scholarships are made available by the various funding bodies.
