My Advice
Treat the stipend as a helpful contribution and not your whole budget. Work out your rent, food and travel costs for Ireland first, and see how much of the gap the stipend closes. Since the scholarship needs an admission offer from an eligible institution, plan your university applications and your scholarship application together.
