Apply now: Support Schemes for writers 2024

The Irish Writers Centre is pleased to announce a new round of support schemes for writers living on the island of Ireland, made possible with support from the Arts Council of Ireland, Dublin City Council and
Foras na Gaeilge.

This year, we have course bursaries and subsidised associate memberships available. These schemes aim to create access to Irish Writers Centre supports by subsidising costs to individuals who may not otherwise be able to afford them. Applicants can apply for multiple support schemes as long as they are eligible under each individual scheme. 

The supports we have on offer are:

  • Associate Membership Support Scheme 2024
  • Course Bursaries 2024
  • Course Bursaries for LGBTQIA+ Writers 2024
  • Sparánachtaí Cúrsaí do Scríbhneoirí Gaeilge 2024
