Connacht GAA have again reiterated their commitment to the ongoing educational development of its players and members by announcing details of the 2024/2025 Connacht GAA Student Bursary scheme.

The scheme, which is now in its fifteenth year, will be open to members of the Association who are attending a full-time Higher Education course and who are active participants in their Higher Education club.  Students who hold other GAA-related or a college scholarship/bursary will not be eligible to apply. Connacht GAA welcomes applications from those students in our province, (Galway, Leitrim, Mayo, Roscommon & Sligo), regardless whether their attendance is at a college inside or outside of Connacht”. Recipients will again be selected based on a range of criteria, including their playing, coaching or administrative commitments to the GAA. A number of awards in each province will be reserved for those excelling in the areas of coaching and administration within the College GAA Club.

An application form for this year’s scheme can be downloaded here: Connacht GAA Higher Education Bursary Application Form 2024-25
