Financial Support for Your Son's Education at St Brendan's College

At St Brendan's College, we understand that providing the best possible education for your son is a priority, and we recognise that financial considerations can sometimes pose a challenge. To ensure that every deserving student has the opportunity to experience the unique education we offer, we are pleased to introduce avenues of financial assistance.  This support is available exclusively for the academic year and specifically covers the cost of fees.

At St Brendan's College, we are committed to providing financial assistance through the Edmund Rice Bursary, a vital support structure for eligible students.

Applications are confidentially processed by our Business Manager against specific criteria, this bursary is designed to address demonstrated financial need. 

  • Applications open 1st October 2024
  • Applications close 31st October 2024

Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, our Edmund Rice Bursaries are crafted through a comprehensive formula. This formula takes into account various factors, including family circumstances (such as single or dual-parent households), the number of children, employment status, and housing costs. By considering these individual elements, we ensure that our bursaries are specifically tailored to address the unique financial situations of each family.

Annual Application Requirement:  Applicants must apply for each academic year. Applications are not sequential, and students are required to reapply annually.
