Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship

The Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship (GOI-IES) program supports high-calibre international students who wish to study at NFQ levels 9 or 10 (master’s, postgraduate diploma or PhD) in Ireland. The program is funded by the Government of Ireland in partnership with Irish higher education institutions (HEIs) and managed by the Higher Education Authority. Under the initiative, 60 scholarships are awarded each year for one year of full-time study at NFQ levels 9 or 10.

This scholarship consists of a stipend amounting to €10,000 for one year of full-time study at NFQ levels 9 or 10.  The awardees’ host higher education institutions are required to give a full fee waiver to the awardees for the year of their scholarship.
