The National College of Ireland (NCI)Sports Scholarship applications are now open. International students on a 3-year programme who have the potential or have achieved the potential to reach a very high level of performance competing at the International, Inter-provincial, National or Intercountry level can apply. The NCI Sports Scholarship can be used in collaboration with any other NCI scholarship. However, the total amount a student can receive for sports and the academic scholarship can be capped in certain circumstances. The scholarships are also available to students already receiving external funding for a sporting organisation. For example, a government body. The scholarship initiative is an investment to assist the student to focus both on academics and sports.
