2006 ESB Education Awards for children of staff

ESB is offering five third-level Education Awards to those children of staff who are starting full-time degree or diploma studies in the 2006/07 college year. Selection is by an open draw, which takes place on October 11th.

The draw is open to dependent children of regular full-time and part-time staff in ESB and ESBI, to children of staff receiving ongoing VSS payments, and to children of retired and deceased staff.

Each award, valued at €2,000 per year for a maximum of four years, is subject to satisfactory college performance and passing of the course examinations. There is a limit of one entry per student, and a family may be in receipt of one ESB Education Award only at any time.

Eligible Courses
The Awards apply to full-time under-graduate degrees and diploma-level courses at an approved university or higher education institute within the EU. They do not cover part-time or post-graduate studies. For the purposes of recognition, degrees and diplomas should be accredited by a recognised university, the HETAC (formerly NCEA), or equivalent accrediting institution.
