Benefits

Successful students will receive:

A scholarship stipend of €10,000 for one academic year

Payment of all tuition and other fees associated with enrollment at the higher education institution in full
The hea will give the student a scholarship worth €10,000 for one academic year (via the hei that the student is enrolled in). The purpose of this fund is to pay for living expenses and educational costs. The scholarship may cover either one year of a research program or one year of a taught master’s degree program (e.g. One year of a 2-year research masters or a 3-4-year phd programme).

The awarded applicant’s host higher education institution (HEI) will receive the scholarship stipend. The HEI will then set up a system to transfer the money to the recipient of the award.

The HEI must provide the student with a COMPLETE fee waiver during the scholarship year. This is the bare minimum in matching funds that institutions will have to contribute to the scholarship program.
The Government of Ireland International Education Scholarships are anticipated to fund a total of 60 scholarships for the academic year 2023–2024.
