Project Ireland

I have always dreamed of studying abroad but have never had the funds to go for a semester. Even with working forty hours a week on top of being in school full time, I cannot seem to make enough money for my trip. I decided to go ahead and apply to the program in Galway, Ireland, but I need to find a way to actually get to Ireland. Although I have considered being a stowaway in a cargo ship, I would much prefer to fly there! Any help whatsoever would be much appreciated. I am a social welfare and justice student in college and would love to see the conflicts in Ireland and study the way they have been ameliorated and have inflamed at different times.
