National Student Bursaries Scheme Monday, September 16, 2013 The GAA have again reiterated their commitment to the ongoing educational development of its players and members by announcing details of the 2013 – 2014 GAA National Student Bursary scheme. Now in its seventh year, the scheme is open to members of the Association who are attending a full-time Higher Education course (except those who hold another GAA-related or college scholarship/bursary) and who are active participants in their Higher Education club; to date the GAA has invested close to €1.5million in the six years that its Bursary Schemes have been in existence. The schemes are administered by the respective Provincial Councils and recipients will again be selected based on a range of criteria, including their playing, coaching or administrative commitments to the GAA. A number of awards in each province will be reserved for those excelling in the areas of coaching and administration. Applications for the scheme will be considered by a sub-committee in each province; each bursary granted will be for €750/£600. Further information and application forms for this year’s scheme are available to download from gaa.ie, the various GAA Provincial Council websites and offices and from the Higher Education Colleges website he.gaa.ie/. All completed forms should be returned to the relevant Provincial Council and the closing date for application will be October 11. Senior Intercounty players who were on their County’s Senior Panel in 2013 should apply for Bursaries via the Gaelic Players Association; further information at gaelicplayers
