FEES AND SCHOLARSHIPS 2010

We would appreciate if all payments be made in € (Euros), either in respect of the registration fee or the balance. Payments can be either by cheque, credit card or credit transfer.

Bookings for 2 weeks will be accepted initially, and if vacancies remain, bookings for one week (either 1st or 2nd week) will be accepted. All applicants, however, should apply straight away to establish precedence on the student list or waiting list.

Additional Fee for Poetry Workshop

An additional fee of €100 Euro must be paid in advanced by Summer School students who wish to take the Poetry Workshop:
The number taking part in the Poetry Workshop is limited. Early application is therefore advised.

Scholarships

The Yeats Society is delighted to be able to offer a number of scholarships each year, to enable deserving students and others to attend the prestigious Yeats International Summer School in Sligo, which would otherwise be beyond their reach, on financial grounds.

Applications are made to the Yeats Society, and are considered, in confidence, by the Scholarship committee, whose decisions are final, and conveyed directly to the applicant, and to the Yeats Society. Those who apply for Pierce Loughran Scholarships need not send an Application Fee. Pierce Loughran Scholarships cover the Application Fee, Tuition Fee, and Accommodation, but no other expenses. Those who appy for Tuition Scholarships must enclose the €100 Application Fee. Tuition Scholarships cover all or part of the remaining Tuition Fee, but the student must pay for accommodation and all other expenses.
