How do I check the status of my Government of Ireland scholarship application?

You can track your Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship application through the HEA application portal. Stages such as under review and shortlisted are illustrative, as the HEA confirms only submission and the outcome by email to the address used in your application, so keep it active.

You can follow your GOI-IES application through the HEA application portal. The HEA also uses the email address on your application to send updates, so that inbox matters as much as the portal. The stages below are illustrative, because the HEA itself confirms only that your application was submitted and, later, the outcome by email.

What illustrative status stages may mean

StatusWhat it generally means
SubmittedYour application has gone through the HEA portal successfully.
Under reviewYour application is being assessed in the selection process.
ShortlistedThe Irish higher education institution has picked your application for further assessment.
Final decisionAssessment is finished and the result is available.

After the decision

  • If you are selected, the HEA shares details about the award and the next steps.
  • If you are not selected, you are informed of the outcome as well.

My Advice

Use an email address you check daily, and avoid changing it after you apply. Check both the portal and your inbox (including spam) every few days during the assessment period so you do not miss any update from the HEA.
