A Prestigious Scholarship Opportunity to Study in Northern Ireland tuition free!

Participating Universities:

Queens University Belfast is one of the 20 top research-intensive institutions in the United Kingdom. While the university does not offer courses in all disciplines, most U.S. students will find appropriate subjects at Queens University.

University of Ulster has a national and international reputation for excellence. With four distinct campuses across Northern Ireland, students are placed at a specific campus based on their field of study.

St. Mary’s University College specializes in liberal arts and teacher training, and is integrated into the larger Queen’s University system. In 2011, St. Mary’s was ranked third among all universities in the United Kingdom for student satisfaction with their overall university experience.

Stranmillis University College is highly recognized for its teacher training curriculum, but also offers courses in early childhood and health and leisure studies. Stranmillis is a college within the system of Queen’s University Belfast.

Belfast Metropolitan College specializes in educating students with strong career goals in vocational areas such as business, marketing, computing, performing arts, communication and Irish studies.

The programs and faculty at these institutions are of high quality and U.S. students can expect a fulfilling year in Northern Ireland through placement at any of these schools.


Eligibility Requirements:
- Students must have either sophomore, junior, or senior status at the time of application
-GPA: 3.2 minimum
-Students must have declared a major at Edgewood and completed at least some coursework in that field of study (all majors are accepted)

Credit:

*Schools in Northern Ireland limit the number of students they will accept as Irish American Scholars. Acceptance is generally determined by space availability and by a student’s GPA.

Students apply for one semester of study at a Northern Ireland institution. If interested, students may request a full academic year, however, extended placements are very limited. Also note that there are generally fewer opportunities to place students for the spring semester.
