It is recommended that you discuss you speak to as many people as possible to support you in making an informed decision about what you’re planning to study. You could for example speak to a guidance counsellor, an academic, student, or graduate of the course you wish to study, and the Sanctuary Scholarship point of contact.
If you need help with any of your applications, please email info@brij.ie or speak to us when we visit your centre.
