Ireland | Limerick
Limerick is Ireland’s third most populous city with easy access to some of Ireland’s most beautiful scenery. Standing along the River Shannon, in western Ireland, Limerick dates back to Viking times around the year 922. The city center is compact and easy to navigate with a medieval quarter, a Georgian area, lively market and a thriving cultural program of festivals and events. Limerick is well connected with train and bus services, and Shannon International Airport is just a 30-minute drive from the city.

Financial Aid Policy
Most LVC Students will receive their financial aid in full for all semester-long study abroad and study away programs. Allwein scholars will receive 50% of their full-tuition scholarship for semester-long study abroad and study away programs. The $2,500/year Allwein stipend may be used to supplement the reduction in scholarship. Tuition Exchange and Tuition Remission recipients will receive a scholarship value of $13,500 for the semester. The value will be the equivalent to the value awarded to the same year’s incoming class. Additional LVC study abroad scholarship funding, based on eligibility, is available for this program.
