BURSARIES & SCHOLARSHIPS

Ireland Newfoundland Partnership Education Bursaries
The Ireland Newfoundland Partnership (INP) manages an agreement between the Governments of Ireland and Newfoundland, to recognize the deep historical links between the two Islands and identify new areas for collaboration.

This Ireland-Newfoundland relationship is rooted in the significant pre-famine migration to Newfoundland primarily from the South East of Ireland. Today, over 50% of Newfoundland's population is of Irish origin, and these Irish roots are still visible in modern day Newfoundland culture. Contemporary economic relations focus largely on ocean industries, marine and geological resources, and information technology.

Each September the INP administers an education bursaries scheme to allow Irish third-level students and academics to engage with Newfoundland partners. The scheme supports undergraduate student exchanges, post-graduate research, academic research, and joint-curriculum development. If you would like to learn more about this grant scheme email info@inp.ie or phone 01 676 2843.

Ireland Canada University Foundation: ICUF Scholarship Programs
It is the mission of ICUF to support and develop the relationship between Canada and Ireland, through the organisation and facilitation of scholarly exchange between both countries. Scholarships are awarded to candidates of the highest calibre, whose work relates to both Irish and Canadian interests, and provides the potential to develop ongoing international links in that area.

This mission is realised through the operation of three distinct scholarship programs, each of which supports scholarly travel from Ireland to Canada, and from Canada to Ireland;
  • The James M Flaherty Scholarship Program initiated in 2016, supports both emerging and established scholars, from across all academic disciplines.
  • The Dobbin Atlantic Scholarship Programme initiated in 2016, supports the development of a new generation of academic, artistic, cultural and economic links between Atlantic Canada and Ireland.
  • The Irish Language Programme supports the growth and development of the Irish language in Canada.
