Funding for College
We don’t offer any grants or funding for education.
We recommend calling SUSI to check if you may be eligible for funding, it may depend on how long ago you did your first degree and if that was supported by SUSI. If you have had a 5-year break in studies since leaving that course you may be eligible for SUSI for this course. https://susi.ie/previous-education-and-progression/
It may be that you are eligible for a SUSI maintenance grant if you are not eligible for the college fees. Some more information here: https://epale.ec.europa.eu/en/blog/guide-student-grants-bursaries-and-scholarships
You may want to look into Scholarships offered by GMIT, more details here: https://www.gmit.ie/scholarships
You might want to apply to your local authority arts office for an arts grant or other schemes. All City and County Councils allocate annual funding for the arts, they will have a deadline, usually at the start of the year. It is a good idea to call or to try and arrange a meeting with your local arts officer to find out about funding available in your area. You can find contact details for Arts Officers by location here: https://visualartists.ie/arts-directory/local-authority-arts-offices/#!directory/map
