LOCATION: Ireland 

The Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship (GOI-IES) programme supports high-caliber international students who wish to study at NFQ levels 9 or 10 (master’s, postgraduate diploma, or PhD) in Ireland. The programme 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.

ELIGIBILITY:

In order to be eligible for a Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship, applicants must have a domiciliary of origin outside the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Candidates will first need to apply for admission to a master’s, postgraduate diploma, or PhD programme offered by an eligible Irish higher education institution as per that institution’s admission procedures. Candidates are advised to make inquiries directly to the relevant higher education institution about the eligibility of their course for GOI-IES. Where available, the institutions’ contact details are included in Appendix 1 of the 2026 GOI-IES call document, “Eligible Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)”. Appendix 1 is available on this webpage as a separate document and may be further updated with additional contact details.

Applicants must have a conditional or final offer of admission to an eligible Irish higher education institution at the time of applying for a Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship.

A maximum of one application per candidate may be submitted in the 2026 cycle of the GOI-IES programme.
