Fórsa’s Third Level Grant Support Scheme for union representatives for the 2024/25 academic year will close next week. The deadline for applications is 5.30pm Thursday 24th October, 2024.

The scheme is intended to assist union representatives in acquiring knowledge and skills that will help them to better carry out the role of a union representative. Financial assistance will be provided to successful applicants so that they can undertake a certified educational course at third level.

 
Courses should provide qualifications and skills which will benefit a member in their work and union activities. Post graduate qualifications are not covered.

A union representative role includes performing any role on behalf of their union colleagues at workplace, branch, vocational group or other level.

Grants are based on the overall cost of undertaking the course up to a maximum of €3,000 per year. The amount awarded to successful applicants will be decided by the Membership Services Committee. 

Applications must be submitted via email to bursaries@forsa.ie by 5.30pm Thursday 24th October, 2024.

Further details are available here. Application form is available here.
