Government of Ireland – International Education Scholarship
The Higher Education Authority (HEA) has issued the 2023 Call under the Government of Ireland International Education Scholarships Programme. Under the initiative, 60 scholarships will be awarded to successful candidates who have been offered a place at an eligible Irish higher education institution for one year of study at the Master’s or PhD levels. The offer is open to non-EU/EEA students and is applicable to all fields of study.
The goal of the GOI-IES scheme for 2023 is to reflect Ireland’s involvement in target partner countries. The scheme is run in the higher education sector and is funded in collaboration between the Irish government and higher education institutions (HEIs). Scholarships are marketed as prestigious awards that convey key messages about Ireland as a centre of international education, research, and innovation.

The scholarship may be for one year of a taught master’s degree programme or one year of a research programme (for example, one year of a 2-year research master’s or a 3-4-year PhD programme).
Successful students will receive:
