NUI Galway International Scholarship Programme

Eligible applicants to the MA in Gender, Globalisation and Rights are strongly encouraged to apply to the NUIG International Scholarship Programme.

The University has a long tradition of involvement in providing education for students from developing countries. In keeping with this tradition the NUI Galway International Scholarship Programme was launched in 2005. The Programme builds on NUI Galway's tradition of offering opportunities to talented students from the developing world and is aimed at developing the capacity of outstanding individuals who can assume leadership roles in their fields of study and whose work will enhance the development of their own society.

The NUI Galway International Scholarship Programme provides a number of postgraduate scholarships for outstanding students from South Africa, Sri Lanka and Ethiopia who wish to study at NUI Galway and who would otherwise be unable to finance their studies in Ireland. Priority will be given to applicants who demonstrate that the knowledge they acquire from their studies will be utilised subsequently to support development in their home countries. The scholarship amount will be up to € 15,000 for one academic year towards the cost of travel and accommodation. In addition, relevant tuition fees will be awarded by NUI Galway. Selection criteria will be based on academic merit and financial need.

The International Affairs Office receives the applications. A copy of the guidelines, the approved course list, application form, deadline for application and a list of frequently asked questions can be downloaded from the website of the International Affairs Office.
