SCHOLARSHIP UPDATE
This is Daltaí's 11th year offering scholarships to both students & teachers to
assist them in their Irish Language studies. Through the generosity of the Tierney family, and
in memory of their son, Daltaí is honored to award the "John Patrick Tierney Scholarship" for
a teacher to study in Ireland. Oideas Gael, the
language and cultural school located in the Donegal Gaeltacht, will supplement
this special Scholarship with free tuition, room and board
to their weeklong teachers' program. We thank the Tierney family for their generosity,
and Oideas Gael for their recognition
and support in our shared mission of promoting an Ghaeilge.
