Coláiste na Rinne is committed to broadening access to Scoil na Leanaí and our Transition Year by offering eligible parents means-tested financial assistance with the payment of fees. Such financial assistance is known as a bursary. The bursary is in the form of a reduction of fees by up to 75%. The level of bursary award depends on the financial circumstances of the applicants.
Bursaries are awarded at the discretion of the Finance Subcommittee, who will calculate an award in relation to a family’s financial and other circumstances (e.g. their savings, investments, and realisable assets, as well as their income, the size of their family, any other dependents, monthly outgoings, and any other relevant factors).
Coláiste na Rinne is a charity and the funds for financial assistance come from donations and the Coláiste’s annual operating budget. It is therefore extremely important that the limited funds available are allocated responsibly, with thorough consideration of each family’s circumstances. It should be noted that Coláiste na Rinne does not have sufficient funds to satisfy all bursary applications received.
