ATU /GPA Postgraduate Sports Scholarship

This recently launched ATU /GPA (Gaelic Players Association) partnership allows for up to 12 fully funded, postgraduate places to male and female members of the GPA who wish to study at ATU. The scholarships will benefit current and former inter-county players who are accepted onto any full-time or part-time master’s programme within ATU.

Applicants can apply for the scholarship once they have secured their place on their programme of choice. 50% of the course cost will be covered by ATU with the remaining 50% covered by the GPA.

Submission of an applications requires two simple steps:
