Financial cost is one of the most common hurdles for students wishing to begin theological studies.

However, did you know that students can apply to be considered for an IBI bursary?

This is part of our commitment to making our courses as accessible as possible to as many students as possible.

An application can be made by completing a bursary application form, to be submitted no later than 01 August 2025.

Applicants must meet normal programme entry requirements for Certificate, BA Degree or MA Degree.

Applications are open to part-time and full-time students who have applied and been accepted onto an IBI Programme.

Bursaries will be awarded depending on available funds and each student’s financial situation.

For an application form, please contact Diogo Vara, Bursar at ibibursar@ibi.ie
