Quick answers about Ireland scholarship applications for IGCSE / A Level / IB students.
Answer five quick questions — which countries you're applying to, study level (undergraduate or postgraduate), your predicted or actual grades (IGCSE / A Level / IB), the type of funding you need, and your nationality category. The tool returns named scholarship schemes matched to your profile, each tagged with coverage type (full tuition / partial / living costs), competitiveness, bond requirement and application route.
Government of Ireland International Education Scholarships, Trinity Dublin Global Excellence, UCD Global Excellence and UCC merit awards. The scholarship finder covers the major named schemes available to IGCSE / A Level / IB students applying to Ireland — both government and university-level awards.
It depends on the scholarship tier. Highly competitive government and full-funding scholarships (e.g. Chevening for the UK, MEXT for Japan, NYU Abu Dhabi for the UAE) typically require excellent grades — A*AA–AAA at A Level or 37–40 at IB. University-level merit awards are more accessible — many consider AAB–ABB (32–35 IB) or even lower. The scholarship finder filters results based on your grade band, so you only see awards you're realistically eligible for.
Yes — several Ireland scholarships are automatic. These are considered from your main university application without a separate form; the result card for each scholarship shows the application route (Automatic / Separate application / Embassy nomination) so you know exactly what's needed.
Most Ireland scholarships do not require a work bond. The scholarship card in this tool flags any bond requirement clearly with a ⚠️ bond required label, so you know before you apply.
Yes — the hub version of this tool (at /tools/university-scholarship-finder/) lets you select up to all 14 destinations (UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, UAE, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Ireland) and returns a combined, filtered scholarship list across all of them.
As early as possible — most scholarship deadlines fall before (sometimes well before) the main university application deadline. Government scholarships like Chevening, MEXT and Australia Awards typically close 9–12 months before the intake. University-level merit scholarships are usually considered automatically at application or have a deadline 1–3 months after your offer. Start your scholarship research at least 12 months before the intended intake.
