Can I renew my Government of Ireland scholarship for a second year?
No, the Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship is awarded for one academic year and cannot be renewed. If your course continues beyond that funded year, you will need to arrange money for the remaining period yourself, through savings, other scholarships or another source of support.
No, you cannot renew this scholarship. It is awarded for a single academic year, and the funding does not automatically continue if your course runs longer. During that year you receive a living stipend of EUR 10,000 (approx INR 10.93 L) along with the applicable tuition and registration fee waivers.

My Advice
Build your Ireland budget for the full length of your course before you accept an offer, not just the first year. If your programme runs for two years, decide early how you will fund the second one. Also remember that you need an admission offer from an eligible Irish institution, so plan the university and scholarship applications together.
