In 2016 Morrigu’s Daughters and Land Sea Sky Travel held a very successful pilgrimage to Ireland, devoted to The Great Queen Morrigan. The pilgrimage, which toured sites that were significant for the Morrigan, had a deep impact on all its guides and guests. The trip was successful on many levels, and we would like to share this work with others who may not otherwise have a chance to get to Ireland in the near future. With this thought in mind, we are awarding one full scholarship to our upcoming Bealtaine: Kindling the Flame of Devotion, A Tour of Southwest Ireland, April 28th – May 6th. Scholarship includes free entry to the trip and airfare.

You must purchase your own travel insurance, or show that you are otherwise adequately covered by your existing health insurance and travel insurance policies. We can help you with recommendations. From the United States, decent travel insurance should cost you no more than $150 USD for our trip times. Travel insurance will need to be settled within a month of winning the trip.
- To complete the scholarship process, the receiver of the scholarship will be asked to complete a full registration within a week of being awarded the scholarship. This will include an online registration form, and signing and mailing in a signed and dated waiver. The waiver and registration form can be found on the registration page.

- Failure to complete the scholarship application, complete the registration process, or to be in touch about airfare, will result in the scholarship being canceled and awarded to another applicant.
