Is there any assurance that the scholarship will be given as promised in UK/Ireland?

It depends. Scholarships from universities in Ireland and the UK are generally honored if you meet all eligibility criteria and follow the specific terms and conditions set by the university.

Key factors that can affect your scholarship:

- Academic performance: You must maintain required grades or academic standards.
- Full-time enrollment: Most scholarships require you to enroll as a full-time student by the official start date.
- Compliance with terms: Scholarships may be withdrawn if you are found ineligible or breach any conditions.

Scholarships are usually awarded for the year you start, not the year you apply. If you defer your admission, the scholarship terms may change.
