College Fees to study in the UK/USA

Hello all.

I am looking into doing a Masters Postgraduate course in Fine Art in America, and also applying to do so in England.

Does anybody know any links or advice about how to go about getting;

1 - a scholarship
2 - funding/grants for Fees
3 - Any Specific Irish related Prizes/Awards/Grants.

I would appreciate any advice

You are talking serious money for America anyway.....

Check out the Fulbright Scholarship , below for Irish students who want to pursue a course of study in the US.

Competition is tough and the closing date for 2007 study is November 17th 2006.

The amount will not cover your fees in full.

I too am looking into studing a degree course (distance learning) in the states. Ive already talked to a representative and are sending me out an applicaiton form etc - no mention of price though as this also concerns me. But most importantly, are american qualifications recognised worldwide including ireland, australia etc.?

Not really worth spending time and effort on bettering your education if its as good as qualifications already obtained here. ie degree in states = diploma in ireland

You're kidding right?

Nope! I know that in Oz, their level of qualificaitons are less than that of here however when you go over they say that ours is less than theirs. All political bull if you ask me. But certainly though different levels here have other equivalents in other countries.

Thats why im lookin here to see if anyone knows how to check this against a degree obtained in the states as its alot of money to spend if it goes sour.

Thanks SNB.

you might have saved me a fortune if I get the fulbright,

I would not have had time to get referees together later on!

Your welcome Alspants,

Let us know how you get on, Im interested in it myself but maybe in the future. Remember aswell, its up to you to secure entry to a University approved by Fulbright all on your own and I think there is a list of those on the site. You need to apply well in advance,sometimes up to a full calendar year, so keep an eye on admissions closing dates for the colleges aswell.


Best of luck with it !
