Ah, ce sentiment lorsqu'on ecrit un beau piéce en Francais, je l'adore.
Also I've got hardly nothing done today, I think I need to throw my laptop out the window. :cool:The NUIG grant is almost 2000 euro, such an incentive to study like. If I get it I'd actually be so happy! Saying that I'd probably spend it in a few months :L
Yeah it'd be great, that + the grant + the Naughton scholarship would be amazing, I could live like a king. :P Does anyone know if in the French e-mail questions you have to put in a fake email for the person you're writing to? :L0 -

Yeah the Jp McManus/All Ireland Scholarships.
You must have a medical card I believe and get some where in the region of >550, best two per county get it at least, more are agreed to good counties.
I guarantee that everyone in this thread is having the same thought right now: "I could get that!" :P I think everyone should go for it though, I know I am.

Am I right in saying you can only get the naughton scholarship if you're from certain counties?

Togepi afaik there are 40 scholarships in ul for high results they are divide up amongst the different departments, I think that's what the poster in our school said! I feel like they're either 1000 or 2000 in value!
Thank you! I knew about those though, they're only this year because it's UL's anniversary. I just thought they might have had a set one every year, but maybe not! 0 -

Those scholarships annoy me so much... I may get hurled abuse for this but they are so unfair !! If you have a medical card you can also get a grant and then these amazing scholarships !! If you have a medical card, you get medical expenses pretty much paid for plus your exam fee and much more
Like hello, college is expense for everyone and I feel its more middle class who are suffering here, lower class get benefits etc and higher class can afford it :P but middle class familys who arent eligible for grants/medical cards/ benefits can't even get these top scholarships
Sorry I just think they are unjust !! If you need financial help for college that's what grants are for, scholarships are supposed to be academic awards whether you are rich or poor and most scholarships in Ireland are exclusively for people who are eligible for grants 0 -

Definitely, the difference in financial position between the educated unemployed in Ireland who sit at home all day doing (mostly) nothing and the cash-strapped middle class who work 6-8 hour days is almost nil, the middle class have it harder atm in reality. Having to pay for medicine and stuff too would be crazy expensive I'd say, especially if you have a condition like asthma or something where you might have to get inhalers or something like once a month. Doesn't seem like much but it adds up. Either way, 3rd level education should be fully bankrolled by the exchequer, as we all know that worked fine when we were all buying fúckloads of houses and paying loads of tax but there is a way to spread the cost without having to be a rich country (see Sweden - or as I like to call it, Sweet-en. :P)0 -

I am sorry but that is not true to get the full maintence grant the family income must be under something like €41,000 and once you are under €60,000 or something you will get something I think college fees for all grants. I know plenty of people who's parents work and get the full and half maintence grant so you dont just have to have a medical card, while I know people who are on social welfare and are under €28,000 or something they get an extra €1,500 top up middle class can still get grants don't be mislead.0 -

In a question on deception on Hamlet would be enough to talk about how he is deceived by Gertrude and Claudius and the court??....Going blank here and cant think of anything else to say
Claudius uses deception and false appearance by marrying gertrude to become king. Old rosencrantz and guildenstern also betray and deceive Hamlet. Cloak of madness is also deception. 0 -

You could talk about deception between Polonius and Laertes & Ophelia? Or if you want deception exclusive to Hamlet then you could talk about how Polonius uses Ophelia to deceive Hamlet.
Also, if you're really stuck, you could get a paragraph out of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's deception?0 -

He is also deceived regularly by R+G, Laertes, Polonius is party to his attempted manipulation and you could say that Ophelia is an unwilling collaborator in his manipulation. If you want to get super-deep (I don't recommend it but yea :P), then talk about how because of his destablisation by circumstances, he is 'deceived' to some extent by everything. In fact, he really is deceived by everyone a certain extent in the play. Just remember, it's all about the spin, if you can argue the point that he is deceived by whoever and it reads well, you'll get marks. Also, Hamlet worries that the Ghost is the devil 'who hath power t'assume a pleasing shape', another example of deception. Polonius deceives Ophelia. Claudius deceives Gertrude (she doesn't know he killed elder Hamlet) 'As bad, my mother, as kill a king and marry with his brother' - 'As kill a king?'. Hamlet also deceives R+G when he sends them to England to die.
Also I remember you posting that you had some Hamlet plans made out, would you mind pm'ing me them if you have 'em typed up? I have some french notes made out that I can send you in return and poetry essays. It'd help me out a lot 'cos I have no prep done for Hamlet apart from learning off the structure and quotes!0 -

I know plenty of people whose parents work and still get grants... but what's the difference in earning 62,000 and 60,000 ? very little in fairness. I also know of people who get accountants to fix things up so they can get grants.. and it happens all the time But thats not my point. I just think scholarships shouldn't take in someones financial position!! they are scholarships, not grants!!
I've just got bones to pick with a system which says you'll only get rewarded for doing well academically but only if you're eligible for a grant :P0 -

Thats where the entrance scholarships, music or sports ones come into play they reward you on 'preformance' in the leaving cert or a certain field.....0 -
@Dwellingdweller Thanks for the advice and yep I have a few plans made out...Nothing too fancy but maybe they will be help :P
What you looking for? Hopefully I will have it 0 -
