The Michael Joseph McEnery Memorial PhD Scholarship

The Michael Joseph McEnery Memorial PhD Scholarship was founded by Geraldine C. McEnery in memory of her husband Michael Joseph McEnery (1858-1940), a distinguished student of Queen's College Cork who served as Deputy Keeper of the Public Records and Keeper of the State Papers for all Ireland from 1914 to 1921. The scholarship was established for the promotion of Irish Historical Studies. Up to three scholarships worth €6,000 each are awarded annually to carry out research for the degree of PhD or MPhil as a pathway to a PhD in the field of Irish Historical Studies in the School of History at University College Cork. The scholarship is open to both incoming students who will commence a PhD or MPhil programme and students already within the existing History PhD or MPhil programme. Applicants must have at least Second Class Honours (Grade 1) or equivalent in their first or subsequent degrees. The scholarship supports research of academic value in Irish historical studies and provides financial support for one year. Past recipients may reapply for the scholarship.
