Grants for inter-school events available again!
January 13, 2012
GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. provide grants to Irish-medium and Gaeltacht schools to organise inter-school events. These grants are in great demand.
We’re currently accepting grant applications. Applications will be processed in the order in which they are received, and according to the organisation’s limited budget, so be sure to make the most of this opportunity and submit the online application form to us ASAP!
Through this scheme, schools have an opportunity to organise an event of their choosing with other schools and GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. provides a maximum of €250 / £225 for an event with 2 schools participating, a maximum of €500 / £450 for an event with 3 schools participating and a maximum of €750 / €675 if there are 4 schools or more taking part. The grant is paid based on receipts. Schools can apply for funding for any and all kinds of events and we welcome applications from:
- Preschools and primary schools
- Primary schools
- Primary and Post Primary schools
- Post-Primary schools
There are photos in the gallery of some of the events funded through the scheme previously, and you can read the schools’ accounts of these events here. This grant scheme is funded by Foras na Gaeilge.
Inter-school events give Irish-medium and Gaeltacht schools important opportunities to create ties with other schools. From table quizzes to football blitzes, the various events promote communication and fun through the medium of Irish, something which benefits the school, the pupils and the whole school community. Further information on the scheme is available from the Development Officer, email cspainneach@gaelscoileanna.ie or call 01 8535193.
