At SVP, we believe that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. The SVP Education and Training Bursary Fund provides crucial financial support to students who would otherwise struggle to access or remain in third-level education or vocational training. By funding an SVP Education Bursary, your company can create lasting change in the lives of individuals, their families and their communities.
For the academic year 2024/2025, SVP provided assistance to over 1,200 students, spending close to €2.4m, with demand increasing each year.
For companies interested in supporting the Education and Training Bursary, please contact our team at companies@svp.ie or call 01 884 8227.
Too many talented and hardworking individuals are forced to abandon their education due to financial barriers. With your company’s support, we can provide essential funding for accommodation, food, books, IT resources, and other necessary expenses that grants and personal finances may not fully cover.
SVP’s education assistance programme aligns with our core mission:
Support and Friendship
Our members assist students and families with educational expenses, from books to tuition fees.
Promoting Self-Sufficiency
Education empowers individuals to reach their full potential and secure sustainable employment.
Working for Social Justice
We advocate for equal access to education, ensuring that financial hardship is never a barrier to opportunity.
Your company has the power to transform lives through education. By funding an SVP Education Bursary, you’re investing in people, their potential, and a brighter future for Ireland.
Donations to the Education Bursary Fund can be designated to support students in a specific region.
