    Hi guys,

    Wondering if many others have applied for IRCSET funding this year? Judging by the last couple years of threads on here the competition is getting tougher and tougher every year!

    Any one else going for different funding options? I'm thinking of applying for DIT Fiosraigh as well

    Hi!

    I applied for the IRCSET funding. The competition seem to be very tough. I'm a foreign student and bit worried that only Irish students will get the scholarship.

    I also applied for the Hardiman research scholarship (NUIG). I'm on the reserve list for that scholarship, but I'm not counting on getting it.

    Hi, I also applied for IRCSET. I'm wondering when will the result be published... Does anyone know the date?

    Waiting is so tough...


  • Registered Users Posts: 8 jennyhogstrom


    Hi!

    They said end of April, so hopefully next week. I applied for another scholarship and they were late with the results...so I'm hoping IRCSET will publish the results next week. I know, waiting is tough! I'm checking the IRCSET web page all the time...

    Hi,

    And I'm also checking the online system again and again. But my status keeps saying "ready for review". Is that the last status before results?

    My status also says "ready for review". It must be the last status before results...or else we will have to wait a long time before the results are published..

    Wow, how did you know that?

    So, we don't have to refresh the web again and again. Wish everyone good luck!

    alright, I also find it from their website...


  • Registered Users Posts: 18 Partition


    I too have been checking the website everyday. I'm vowing to not go back until next Thursday, 26th! Best of luck to everyone, post up here how you get on :D Does anyone have any indication how many places there are this year? I'd imagine with all the recent cuts it will be lower than ever...


  • Registered Users Posts: 8 jennyhogstrom


    I don't know how many scholarships they offer but it's probably less than last year :/ In general, this year does not look good for postgrad programs. Anyway, best of luck to everyone!

    I got it but am turning it down so there should be at least one person not on the list who'll get some good news.

    Will they give change the list if someone gives up?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8 jennyhogstrom


    I didn't get it :( I wonder if someone else will get those scholarships that were turned down. They might save the funding for next year...don't know.
