Pulse College are delighted to announce that they are set to be the first college in Ireland to be nominated by the City and Guilds International Foundation to become a City and Guilds Bursary centre. Each year, only eight different countries are selected where the bursaries will be made available and Pulse College is proud to be the chosen institution for Ireland. This will allow Pulse College to put forward worthy students who may be under pressure financially, to have their college fees funded through the Bursary programme.
“These are tough economic times and education is the key driving force to help Ireland re-emerge from the recession. This will give us the opportunity to offer help to students who are struggling with the burden of debt”,. Explains Naomi Moore, Pulse College Director.
Successful students will be able to concentrate and focus on their studies with the peace of mind knowing that their fees are taken care of. This announcement comes on top of the recent Leonardo funding Pulse received, which allowed the college to provide funded work placements in some of the top UK recording studios for 15 of their outstanding students.
The International bursaries are granted to cover the tuition and assessment fees leading to the completion of one level of a City & Guilds international qualification. This is part of City and Guilds commitment to the local communities, and enables individuals from financially underprivileged backgrounds around the world to obtain a City & Guilds qualification.
Applicants must meet the following criteria in order to be eligible for a bursary:
o Live close to and intend to study at an eligible centre
o Be able to easily travel to the centre of their choice
o Demonstrate that they would not be able to pursue a training programme unless their tuition and assessment costs were paid
o Complete the application form and interview in English, at a level that is appropriate to the qualification they wish to acquire
