The grant process consists of only four steps:
KILROY Foundation awards grants to young individuals pursuing:
• Studies abroad
• Internship abroad
• Volunteer work abroad
The Foundation will award 5 "Spring" grants in the first half of each year and 5 "Fall" grants in the second half of each year – each at €1500, to individuals who seek to develop themselves by going off the beaten track, contributing to local community development and international experiences
KILROY Foundation Grants are fully financed by funds donated by KILROY International
The intent of the Foundation is to help develop individuals and communities around the world through travel and education. We want young people to have the opportunity to discover and experience global diversity, minimize any form of prejudice and maximize interest and involvement in global society. This we do through our KILROY Foundation Grant scheme.
