In an exciting development for prospective international students, the University of Galway has announced the launch of its Global Achievement Scholarships for the academic year 2024-2025. Aimed at fostering global diversity, the university is extending this financial support to outstanding undergraduate candidates enrolling in the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies, and the College of Business, Public Policy, and Law.
The scholarship offers a significant boon to eligible students, with a reduction of €2,000 in tuition fees for their inaugural year of study, making higher education more accessible and affordable. The application process has been streamlined for convenience; students do not need to submit a separate application for this scholarship. Eligibility is automatically determined based on academic achievements and the personal statement provided during the application process to the university.
To be considered for this prestigious award, applicants must be classified as international students for fee purposes and must be self-financing their education, without reliance on external funding sources such as governmental or employer sponsorships. Moreover, candidates must have fulfilled all conditions specified in their offer letter for a full-time undergraduate program within the eligible colleges. Importantly, a confirmed place for the September 2024 intake in a qualifying program is a prerequisite, with the deadline for acceptance set for May 1, 2024.
This initiative underscores the University of Galway’s commitment to attracting and supporting a vibrant, diverse student body from around the globe.
