Ways to Give   Welcome Home Irish Way 2010!
General Scholarship Fund - Through the generosity of members and organizations, students are given the opportunity to participate in the Irish Way.  All donations received are distributed among Scholarship applicants based on their need. 

Honor/Memorial Scholarships - Honoring a loved one through a Memorial Scholarship can be a rewarding experience for the recipient and the donors. It allows your loved one's name to be a conduit for a student to further their understanding of their heritage.   You may choose to write a description of your fund and have it included on our Irish Way Scholarship page. We also would be happy to include a photo if you like.

You can designate your gift to be used for a scholarship that you name. By law, the selection process  has to be a fair and open competitive process, available to all qualified applicants.  However, you can list the attributes or qualifications that you would like your recipient to have (e.g. male/female, state, family background, etc.)  or you may choose to allow the Irish Way Scholarship Committee to choose the recipient.   A minimum donation of $1000 is required to establish a named scholarship. Gifts of less than $1000 can be designated towards the general scholarship fund.*

Please consider donating to a Scholarship Fund today!

After three weeks of being immersed in Irish culture, our students have returned.  The memories and friendships will last long after those tearful good-byes.  To follow their journeys, please visit our Irish Way Blog.

  The Irish Way is a blend of all things Irish.  Students may begin their day with a history lesson, followed by surfing and wrapping up with a cooking lesson.  This music video, by the Surfchixx (who just happens to be fronted by our own Irish Way/Adventure Ireland Coordinator, Niamh Hamill) was just one of their exciting adventures.
