There are scholarships available for Sri Lankans who want to do post
graduate studies in Ireland.

Please forward this message on so that you can in turn forward it to anyone
you might know would benefit.

The National University of Ireland has recently launched an International
Scholarship Programme directed initially at students from South Africa and
Sri Lanka.

The Programme provides a number of postgraduate scholarships for
outstanding students from South Africa and Sri Lanka, who would otherwise
be unable to finance their studies in
Ireland.

Priority will be given to applicants who demonstrate that the knowledge
they acquire from their studies will be utilised subsequently to support
development in the students’ home countries. The scholarship amount will be
up to EUR 15,000 for one academic year towards the
cost of travel and accommodation.

In addition, tuition costs will be borne by NUI, Galway.

Selection criteria will be based on academic merit and financial need.

Given that this is the first year of the Programme, existing
academic/administrative contacts which University staff may have, may serve
as an important avenue in attracting applicants.

Please inform any contacts you may have and invite them to make contact
directly with me.
