No, the Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship (GOI-IES) covers only one year of study for master's or PhD programs. It provides a €10,000 stipend and full tuition waiver for that year, not for the full duration of multi-year courses.
For funding beyond the first year, you’ll need to explore other scholarships offered directly by Irish universities or external organizations, as some institutions provide merit-based awards for subsequent years. Availability and eligibility for these can vary by university and course.
If you need help identifying additional scholarship options for later years, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
