How to apply for the Ireland Government Scholarship?
Applicants must apply for admission to a relevant Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. program provided by an approved Higher Education Institution (see Appendix 1), following the admission processes established by that HEI. At the time of application, applicants should have a conditional or final offer of admission to the HEI and will be required to produce a copy of the same. If an applicant receives more than one offer, he or she should submit separate applications for each course. Final offers are contingent on acceptance into the appropriate HEI. Prior to submitting an application to the HEA, applicants should contact the relevant institution directly.
The Higher Education Authority (HEA) manages the Ireland Scholarship scheme on behalf of the Department of Education and Skills. The HEA will award a set number of scholarships under the plan to successful applicants after a competitive procedure based on an annual request for proposals from individual applicants.
