The GAA have again reiterated their commitment to the ongoing educational development of its players and members by announcing details of the 2026/27 GAA National Student Bursary scheme.
The scheme is open to members of the Association who are attending a full-time Higher Education course (except those who hold another GAA-related or college scholarship/bursary) and who are active participants in their Higher Education club; to date the GAA has invested over €1.5 million in the time that its Bursary Schemes have been in existence.
The schemes are administered by the respective Provincial Councils and recipients will again be selected based on a range of criteria, including their playing, coaching or administrative commitments to the GAA. A number of awards in each province will be reserved for those excelling in the areas of coaching and administration.
The closing date for application will be Friday October 2nd.
Senior Inter County players who were on their County’s Senior Panel in 2026 should apply for Bursaries via the Gaelic Players Association; further information at www.gaelicplayers.com.
In addition to the National contribution of €24,000 Munster GAA will invest a further €48,000 resulting in 96 bursaries of €750 being presented to students from the province.

Scéim Náisiúnta Sparánachtaí do Mhic Léinn 2026/2027
D’athdhearbhaigh CLG a dtiomantas arís d’fhorbairt leanúnach oideachais a chuid imreoirí agus ball trí shonraí a fhógairt faoi scéim Sparánachta Náisiúnta do Mhic Léinn CLG 2026/27. Tá an scéim oscailte do bhaill an Chumainn atá ag freastal ar chúrsa lánaimseartha Ardoideachais (seachas iad siúd a bhfuil scoláireacht/sparánacht eile a bhaineann le CLG nó le coláiste acu) agus atá ina rannpháirtithe gníomhacha ina gclub Ardoideachais; go dtí seo tá os cionn €1.5 milliún infheistithe ag an CLG le linn dá Scéimeanna Sparánachta a bheith ar bun.
Is iad na Comhairlí Cúige a bhíonn i mbun reáchtála na scéimeanna agus roghnófar na hiarthóirí rathúla arís bunaithe ar réimse critéar, lena n-áirítear a dtiomantais imeartha, cóitseála nó riaracháin don CLG. Cuirfear roinnt gradam i ngach cúige ar fáil dóibh siúd atá ar fheabhas i réimsí na cóitseála agus an riaracháin.
Is é an dáta deiridh le hiarratas a dhéanamh ná an Aoine, 2 Deireadh Fómhair.
Ba cheart d’imreoirí Idirchontae Sinsearacha a bhí ar Phainéal Sinsearach a gContae in 2025 iarratas a dhéanamh ar Sparánachtaí trí Chumann na nImreoirí Gaelacha; tuilleadh eolais ag http://www.gaelicplayers.com
Chomh maith leis an ranníocaíocht náisiúnta de €24,000, infheisteofar €48,000 eile ó CLG na Mumhan. Mar thoradh air sin, cuirfear 96 sparánacht de 750 Euro ar fáil do mhic léinn ón gcúige.
