Applications open for Kaneen Bursary '19

Opportunity to attend Irish summer school in Donegal

Applications are now open for the 2019 Kaneen Bursary.

The scheme gives two young Manx speakers the opportunity to attend a summer school in Irish language and culture, held in Donegal this summer.

Bursaries will cover all travel and accommodation costs, with successful applicants asked to write or record a blog in Manx Gaelic on their return.

The scheme is made possible by a legacy from the late Manx scholar Professor Brian Kaneen, to help develop a wider understanding of Gaelic cultures amongst young Manx speakers.

If you're aged 18-30, fluent in Manx and a resident of the Island, you're encouraged to apply.
