Higher education institutions are autonomous bodies as set out in legislation and are responsible for the day-to-day management and operational affairs of the institution including the determination of scholarships. My Department is therefore not in a position to provide details of public or semi-state scholarships partnered to Higher Education Institutions.

The Government of Ireland - International Education Scholarship (GOI-IES) scheme was established under the provisions of the Government’s International Education Strategy, 2010–2015 and expanded under the successor strategy “Irish Educated, Globally Connected” (2016-2020). The GOI-IES provides a total of 60 awards each year for non-EU students studying full-time at an eligible Irish higher education institution at Undergraduate (final-year only), Masters, or PhD level. Each GOI-IES award includes a full tuition fee waiver for one academic year and a stipend of 10,000 euros to assist with living expenses.

The Irish Research Council made postgraduate scholarship awards under the Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Programme, Enterprise Partnership Scheme (Postgraduate) and the Employment-Based Postgraduate Programme . The award is made to the individual who must be based at an eligible Irish higher education institution during the funding term.
