The INTO awards a number of bursaries every year to members who are engaged in educational research.
This year the INTO awarded three bursaries of €3,000 each for members studying at Doctorate level, and three of €1,500 each for members studying at Masters Level or similar. A total of 75 applications were received. Each application was considered by an independent assessor who was tasked with selecting the winners.
The INTO bursaries were awarded by the Deputy General Secretary at the annual Consultative Conference on Education, which was held in Wexford on 23 November 2024. Bursary winners were invited to present their projects at the Researchmeet session of the conference.
Applications for the 2025 bursary will open after Easter 2025.
