George J. Mitchell Scholarship

The awards are named to honor former Senator George Mitchell's pivotal contribution to the Northern Ireland peace process. As such, we are seeking candidates who have achieved academic excellence, a sustained commitment to community and service, and a record of leadership in their fields.

Scholars receive support for one year of postgraduate study in any discipline offered at an institution of higher learning in Ireland. The Mitchell Scholarship Program provides tuition, housing, a living expense stipend that includes a travel stipend. Up to twelve scholarships are awarded each year.
