About Scholarship: The Government of Ireland
International Scholarships scheme was established under the provisions
of the Government’s International Education Strategy, 2010–2015. It will
be operated in the higher education sector and funded in partnership
between the Government and the higher education institutions (HEIs).
The scholarship scheme is part of the implementation of the Programme for Government which indicated that the Government would “develop cultural and diplomatic links with emerging markets including a scholarship scheme”. Government of Ireland International Scholarships will be awarded to high caliber higher education students from non-EEA countries to study in Ireland for a period of one year.
The scholarships will highlight Ireland’s strengths as a centre of international education, promote links with priority countries and strengthen the internationalization strategies of HEIs. Scholarships will be branded as prestigious awards reflecting the core messages about Ireland as a centre of international education.
It is expected that for every scholarship winner, awareness will be raised of Ireland among many more potential students and staff. Scholarships must be regarded as highly desirable and value adding to individuals’ subsequent lives and careers.
