Yes, Ireland offers scholarships for international students pursuing master's programs in medical science and related fields.

- Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship (GOI-IES): Offers a €10,000 stipend and full tuition waiver for one year of postgraduate study, but is not open to medical students.
- University-specific scholarships: Many Irish universities, such as University College Cork and University of Galway, provide merit-based scholarships for international students in science and biomedical fields, with awards ranging from €2,000 to €10,000 or partial/full tuition waivers.
- Application process and eligibility: Most scholarships are merit-based and some are automatically considered with your program application. Requirements and availability are subject to change.
