2025 Screen Ireland Bursary Application Form

While YIFM aim to be as inclusive as possible and work with many different young people on our programmes, we are not in a position to provide one to one or high support needs for any young person as we do not have SNA’s on staff.

If your young person requires a high level of support or one to one support, we will not be in a position to provide the environment that they need. Please consider the above before putting your young person forward for the programme.

All young people will need the ability to work and feel comfortable in a group setting, and take / follow instruction. It is a busy, noisy environment, with lots of light and sound changes throughout the day. This may prove over stimulating for some young people.


*** Please note that any information that you give us regarding medical conditions, additional needs or behaviours that may challenge is treated as strictly confidential.

We require the following financial information
2024 Statement of Liability for parent (single parent household) / parents/ guardians
