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.
The Community Foundation: Upcoming Closing Dates for Grants
The Community Foundation for Ireland is an independent grant-making organisation. We use the monies from our own permanent endowment and by our donors and philanthropists to distribute grants to various causes and groups right across the country.
