Background
The Irish Government Postgraduate Scholarship Program is an established national initiative funded by the Department of Further and Higher Education and managed by the Council.
The Irish Government Postgraduate Scholarship Program is unique in the Irish research landscape and complements other channels for postgraduate education funded by the Irish ecosystem. Among its features are:
- Individual, prestigious awards for excellent research in the name of the applicant;
- An objective selection process using international, independent expert peer review;
- Funding across all disciplines, from archaeology to zoology; and
- Awards for bottom-up, non-directed research, with the exception of those funded by our strategic funding partners.
Pioneering proposals that introduce new and innovative fields of research or innovative and creative approaches are welcome. Ideas of an interdisciplinary nature are also encouraged, as it is recognized that advancing fundamental understanding is achieved by integrating information, techniques, tools, and perspectives from two or more disciplines.
The Irish Government Postgraduate Scholarship Program is highly competitive and has an average success rate of 18% over the past five years. Successful awardees under the program are recognized for their demonstrated world-class potential as future research leaders.
