Graduate funding for studying abroad...

    Hi,

    This question may be repetitive on this forum but I thought I'd ask again. I'm 25, Irish and have just gone into my second year of a taught masters (Maritime Archaeology) at the University of Southern Denmark. I was going to apply for a Kerry Co Co grant but just learned that they do not offer any assistance for studying a post grad abroad, despite the fact that there is nowhere in Ireland that offers this kind of study (Full time, both theoretical & practical training).

    In a last effort I'm asking whether there are any other funding bodies that would offer assistance to mature students who are forced to study abroad?

    Thanks.

    The EU maybe? I'd say try emailing your query to an MEP (i'd suggest Brian Crowley, or Sean Kelly given that you are from Kerry)

    They will usually get one of their assistans to check it out if there is any Eu funding available to you (it will be very difficult to find this out on your own)

    If you get any response, could you post it here, as I may have a similar dilemma soon

    Thanks for that, I've sent off some e-mails and I'll see what happens. If anything comes out of it I'll spread the word :-)

    No worries, maybe follow up the email with a quick telephone call to their Brussels office if you don't get a reply, or even a reminder email, these guys get hundreds of emails from constituents a week and don't have many staff to answer them
