Liam McCarthy Scholarship
PCI College are delighted to announce as part of our 20 year celebrations, the introduction of the Liam
McCarthy Scholarship, in honour of our Co-Founder. The winning applicant will receive Full Fees for our
Middlesex University BSc(Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy.
Remarkably it was indeed back in 1991 that our pioneering co-founders Liam McCarthy, sadly no longer with
us, and Josephine Murphy founded the Personal Counselling Institute (now PCI College). This was a time when
mental health was not on the political, media or public agenda in Ireland. Their ground-breaking work helped
begin the process of the counselling/psychotherapy profession being seen on an equal footing with other
professions. 20 years on, we at PCI College continue with our founders pioneering work by embracing the
continued raising of academic standards while still making training as accessible as possible and by continuing
to set a high standard of personal development in training.

Applicants can apply online during the period in which the Grant Round is open, which is typically February - March.
Grant Round Funding
Organisations typically begin their funding relationship with The Ireland Funds when they are awarded a grant through the
Grant Round. Donors occasionally identify projects through the Grant Round that they wish to support longer term
through donor advised gifts and, while a relatively small number of organisations receive funding in this way, we
continuously update our records on charities should a donor express an interest in supporting an area in which they are
active.
Grant Round Funding Priorities
The Worldwide Ireland Funds accept applications for projects in the following areas:


Size of Awards
The maximum amount awarded is €20,000. The average award will be around €6,000 and there is no minimum award.
Evaluation
Projects will be evaluated and presented for consideration by the Board of Directors. Lobbying will lead to the
disqualification of a grant application. The decision of the Board is final and we regret that we are unable to enter into
conversations or correspondence regarding the decision of the Board.
We encourage applicants to seek feedback on their proposals by emailing the Grants Office staff at
