Description
Established in 1998 by the Irish Government to honor the former U.S. Senator who served as Chairman of the peace negotiations in Northern Ireland, the George J. Mitchell Scholarships provide funding each year to twelve U.S. citizens for a year of graduate study in any discipline at any university in Ireland (both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland). The goal of the Mitchell Scholarship is to “interest the next generation of American leaders in the island of Ireland.”
For more information, visit the Mitchell Scholarship website.
Eligibility
Applicants must be U.S. citizens and will be eligible if they are at least 18 years of age and have not reached their 30th birthday by October 1, 2023. The Mitchell Program asks for evidence of significant achievement in three areas: academics, leadership, and commitment to community and service. Although the Mitchell Scholarship does not require a minimum GPA, it is expected that the applicant will exhibit academic excellence as well as strong preparation for the proposed field of graduate study.
