Ireland has announced fully funded government scholarships for the 2026 intake, covering stipend, tuition fees, and research support for eligible students.
The Irish Government has opened applications for its fully funded scholarship programme for the 2026 intake, aimed at supporting international and EU students pursuing higher education in Ireland. The scheme covers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral studies, including integrated master’s programmes leading to a PhD.
Selected candidates will receive comprehensive financial support. This includes an annual stipend of €19,000, tuition fee coverage of up to €5,750 per year, including non-EU fees, and additional research funding of €3,250 annually. The scholarship is designed to reduce the financial burden of studying abroad.
The programme is open across a wide range of disciplines, including science, technology, engineering, humanities, arts, and social sciences. This allows applicants from diverse academic backgrounds to apply under a single national framework.
Several leading Irish institutions are participating in the scheme. These include Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, University College Cork, University of Limerick, Maynooth University, University of Galway, Dublin City University, and multiple Institutes of Technology.
Applications must be submitted online through the official scholarship portal by March 12, 2026. Applicants are advised to review eligibility requirements, course details, and institutional guidelines carefully before applying.
