'Spraoi' is a scholarship scheme run by Conradh na Gaeilge in conjunction with Comhaltas Uladh to encourage young people (under 18 from the north) to attend Gaeltacht courses and to provide support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Conradh na Gaeilge aims to publicise the scholarship scheme and spread the word among schools, branches, community groups and the two Líonra Gaeilge in the north. Conradh na Gaeilge will offer a scholarship to the value of £250 STG for students from the north who intend to enrol in Gaeltacht courses this summer.

Criteria:
  • All aspects of this scheme, including the scheme’s process, will be completely transparent.
