Coláiste Éamonn Rís Third Level Scholarship
The Coláiste Éamonn Rís scholarship scheme is in place to enable a student to avail of the opportunity of 3rd level education who might otherwise not be in a position to attend 3rd level due to financial and or social circumstances.
The scheme is open to 6th year students each year who have been accepted on a CAO Level 7 or Level 8 course.
The scholarship will amount to the value of €5,000 in the first year and each subsequent undergraduate year.

The balance if any will be paid in three installments in the first year towards accommodation etc. and will be paid directly to the successful candidate.
