The AOH & LAOH Irish Way Scholarship In 1990 the AOH & LAOH National Boards established two $500 Irish Way Scholarships. These two $500 Scholarships are awarded annually: one to the son, grandson, daughter or granddaughter of a member of the AOH, and one to the son, grandson, daughter or granddaughter of a member of the LAOH. These Scholarship applications are judged by the Irish American Cultural Institute which is based in New Jersey. The Irish Way Program is a nationally renowned summer study-abroad program that has educated over 3,000 American high school students since its’ inception in 1975. Each summer approximately 100 American students take part in this unique cultural and educational experience that is supervised by the Irish American Cultural Institute, (IACI) which is headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey. The Irish Way is truly a lesson in international citizenship. The IACI founded this program on the belief that fostering an appreciation of other cultures is an important part of an individual’s development. Students grow to understand the rich heritage and tradition of Ireland, while also experiencing the country’s distinct culture face-to-face. The Irish Way is a personal discovery and an experience of a lifetime. To request an application for this program and scholarship, you may contact the Irish American Cultural Institute directly. |
