Here are key scholarships for international master's students in Ireland, along with details on tuition fee waivers and living expenses:

- Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship (GOI-IES): Full tuition fee waiver plus a €10,000 annual stipend for living expenses. Highly competitive and open to non-EU/EEA students with an offer from an eligible Irish university.

- UCD Global Excellence Scholarships: 50% to 100% tuition fee waivers for outstanding international students. Some may offer partial living expense support, but mainly cover tuition.

- Trinity College Dublin Global Excellence Postgraduate Scholarships: Tuition fee reductions of €2,000 - €5,000 for exceptional non-EU students.

- University of Galway Postgraduate Excellence Scholarships: Tuition fee reductions of around €1,500. Primarily for EU students, but some options may be available for international applicants.

- SETU Government of Ireland Scholarships: Full tuition waiver plus €10,000 stipend for living expenses under the GOI-IES program.

Typical tuition fees for non-EU/EEA master's students range from €12,000 - €20,000/year (varies by program and university). Estimated annual living costs in Dublin are €21,050 - €27,050, subject to change.

Most scholarships focus on tuition; only a few, like GOI-IES, include living expense stipends. Scholarship deadlines are usually between January and March for September intakes. Strong academics and an admission offer are typically required.
