Grants and Fellowships

George J. Mitchell Scholarships

The US-Ireland Alliance sponsors a competitive, national scholarship for graduate study by American citizens between the ages of 18 and 30 at institutions of higher learning on the island of Ireland. These Scholarships support one year of graduate study in any discipline offered by an institution of higher learning in Ireland or Northern Ireland. Scholars must be enrolled in a degree or certificate program offered at the institution. The Mitchell Scholarship provides tuition, housing, a stipend for living expenses, and international travel. Normally, 12 Scholarships are awarded each year.  Mitchell Scholars must exhibit superior records of academic excellence, leadership and public service. Strong, demonstrated achievements in all three areas are required. 

The Mitchell Scholarship is open to students majoring in any discipline.  The deadline for application is early in the fall term, and the official deadlines and application for the Mitchell Scholarship are available online at the linked site.
