Scholarships for studying in Europe

What you can count on:

• SUSI – the Irish student grant scheme. An EU citizen who has lived in the EU, but not in Ireland, for 3 of the last 5 years is treated as a "tuition student" – they can get a grant towards fees (including the Student Contribution), but not towards living costs. For 2026/27 the priority deadline for new applications passed on 9 July 2026; the final deadline is usually in November,
• Erasmus+ – a semester or a year in Ireland as part of an exchange with your home university,
• Erasmus Mundus – joint master's programmes run by several universities, with a chance of a scholarship,
• university and government scholarships – conditions differ from programme to programme; ask the institution directly.
