Fulbright/Centennial Award

The Ireland Centennial Award commemorates 100 years of diplomatic relations between the United States of America and Ireland. This award is based on the principle that culture, creativity, academic inquiry, and heritage preservation are vital to individual development and to society as a whole and have been a foundation block in the excellent transatlantic relations between the U.S. and Ireland. The award is open to post-graduate Masters-seeking students in any relevant discipline in the Republic of Ireland. As the award marks the centenary of diplomatic relations, the primary focus will be exploring the cultural and other ties between the U.S. and Ireland. The program provides a 10-month grant beginning in Fall 2026, aligned with the academic calendar. Fulbright Alumni cite the following bonuses in coming to Ireland: English-speaking, very welcoming, family-friendly, safe, intellectually challenging in a good way, culturally rich, at the forefront of European community development, and accessible.
