Education fund of over €30,000 on offer

National College of Ireland has teamed up with Metro Herald and Ireland AM to offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change your life, upgrade your skills and acquire the qualifications and confidence to succeed.

The winner will earn an amazing prize package including an educational fund worth €20,000 and €15,000 in other supports, like personal mentoring, computer equipment and even a style package worth €1,000. Contestants just need to answer one simple question: Why do you want to change your life, and how could education help?

Now in its second year, the competition is open to anyone aged 18 and older and resident in the Republic of Ireland. Contestants can download an application form and the contest terms and conditions right here.
