About The Scholarship

The Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Programme, funded by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation, and Science and managed by the Council, is a nationally established initiative.

This unique program within the Irish research landscape offers prestigious individual awards for outstanding research in the applicant’s name. It employs an impartial selection process utilizing international expert peer review. Funding is available across all disciplines, spanning from archaeology to zoology, and encourages bottom-up, non-directed research, except for projects funded by strategic partners.

Innovative proposals addressing emerging research areas or employing creative approaches are encouraged, as are interdisciplinary proposals recognizing the value of integrating perspectives from multiple fields.

With an average success rate of 18% over the past five years, the Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Programme is highly competitive. Successful recipients are acknowledged for their potential as future research leaders on a global scale.
