Seachdnar oileanach bho shabhal mòr ostaig air bursaraidh fhaighinn bho chomhairle na gàidhealtachd

Tha seachdnar oileanach bho Shabhal Mòr Ostaig air taic fhaighinn tro Sgeama Bhursaraidhean Gàidhlig Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd. 

Tha an sgeama seo, a tha air a bhith a’ dol airson 23 bliadhna, a’ toirt taic do dh’oileanaich a tha ag ionnsachadh tron Ghàidhlig air a’ Ghàidhealtachd agus sna h-Eileanan.  

Tha an seachdnar a fhuair bursaraidh nan oileanaich làn-thìde, agus iad stèidhichte air làrach Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, air cùrsaichean leithid a’ bhliadhna bhogaidh, am BA (le Urram) Gàidhlig agus Foghlam, agus BA (le Urram) Gàidhlig agus Ceòl Traidiseanta. Buinidh triùir de na h-oileanaich dhan Eilean Sgitheanach no Loch Aillse, agus thàinig ceathrar dhiubh dhan Eilean Sgitheanach gus cùrsa a dhèanamh aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. 

Thuirt an Dr Marsaili NicLeòid, an t-Iar-Phrionnsapal is Stiùiriche an Fhoghlaim aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig:  

“Tha taic de sheòrsa sam bith a’ cuideachadh nan oileanach againn le bhith a’ cur seachad nas urrainn dhaibh de dh’ùine ag obair air a’ chùrsa aca. Faodaidh Sgeama Bhursaraidhean Gàidhlig Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd diofar mòr a dhèanamh agus tha e a’ toirt cothrom do dh’oileanaich gach nì a tha e na chomas dhaibh a dhèanamh a choileanadh. 

“Tha an sgeama seo a’ cur taic ri oileanaich Ghàidhlig, sgileil a tha làn misneachd agus a bheir dreuchd a-mach ann an teagasg, na meadhanan, obair leasachaidh coimhearsnachd, na h-ealain agus raointean eile. Bidh iad a’ cur ri eaconamaidhean ionadail agus a’ togail bratach na Gàidhlig agus a’ neartachadh cultar a’ chànain. ’S math as fhiach an sgeama seo, com-pàirteachas glè luachmhor a th’ againn le Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd agus tha sinn an dòchas gun lean e airson iomadh bliadhna.” 

Seven Sabhal Mòr Ostaig students awarded Highland Council bursary  

Seven Sabhal Mòr Ostaig students have been awarded support from the Highland Council Gaelic Bursary Scheme.   

The scheme, which has been running for 23 years, provides financial support to students studying through the medium of Gaelic in the Highlands and Islands.   

The seven successful bursary recipients were all full-time students based on-campus at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on the flagship Gaelic immersion year, and our popular BA (Hons) Gaelic with Education and BA (Hons) Gaelic with Traditional Music courses. Three of the students came to Sabhal Mòr Ostaig from within Skye and Lochalsh, and four others moved to the Isle of Skye especially for their studies.   

Sabhal Mòr Ostaig Vice-Principal and Director of Education Dr Marsaili NicLeòid said:   

“Financial support of any shape or form helps students to focus as much of their energies as possible on their studies. The Highland Council’s Gaelic Bursary Scheme can make a real difference and help students to reach their full potential.   

“This is an investment in highly skilled, confident Gaelic students who will go on to work in Gaelic teaching, media, community development, the arts and other sectors, positively impacting the local economy and the future of the Gaelic language and culture. What a worthwhile cause, and a highly valued partnership with Highland Council that we hope will continue for many years to come."
