Yes, Ireland offers scholarships and fee waivers for one-year master's programs, including the Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship (GOI-IES) and university-specific awards.

- GOI-IES: Covers full tuition and provides a €10,000 stipend for one year of full-time postgraduate study. Open to non-EU/EEA students with an offer from an eligible Irish institution. Application period typically runs January - March (subject to change).
- University scholarships: Many Irish universities offer their own scholarships and fee waivers, with amounts and eligibility varying by institution and program.

Scholarship availability, eligibility, and deadlines are subject to change each year. For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
