Deadline for application to the Volunteer Abroad 2012 programme is now closed. Students who have applied will receive notice in January if they have been called for interview. Interviews will take place in February. Best of luck to all who applied!
The program was initiated in January 2011 to provide CIT students the opportunity to take part in a volunteer programme during the summer of 2011.
In 2011, 7 students from varying disciplines across CIT were awarded with a full scholarship, which in some cases was up to the value of €3,500. A further 7 students are being supported with a bursary to the value of €500 each. It is hoped that a similar number of scholarships and bursaries will be awarded for the 2012 programme.
The aim of the programme is primairly to offer financial support to students who wish to experience volunteering abroad. The programme is open to application for any full time registered CIT student, including FAS and Springboard.
