Longford County Council Sports Bursary awards open for applications

Longford Sports Partnership, as part of Longford County Council, is pleased to announce that the Longford County Council Sports Bursary is now open for applications.

Applicants from any sporting field must have been born or reside in County Longford. The award assists in the cost of education, training, travel and equipment.

It will normally be made to those over 16 years of age, however, exceptions to this may be made in the case where a person is competing at national, international or equivalent level, as determined by the chosen sport.

The closing date for applications is Monday, November 6 at 5pm.
