Bohs and BIMM have teamed up to provide a new scholarship that will give those in direct provision a chance to study music.
The new programme was launched today and it means that former or current resident of direct provision can access a degree in music. Bohs has worked through the Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland (MASI) with people in direct provision for several years, and this year the sale of the club's Bob Marley away shirt has helped provide funding for the new music scholarship.
The BA (Hons) Commercial Modern Music course at BIMM is for four years, and fees worth worth up to €12,000 will paid in full for the duration of the course. It's open for those who wish to study the drums, guitar, bass, vocals and songwriting, and it is a full-time degree course validated by Technological University Dublin.
