Civic Engagement Scholarship

University of Galway has launched the first Civic Engagement Scholarship across Irish Higher Education, cementing the University’s position as the centre for excellence in engaging students in societal change, social impact and building civic skills.

Directed at new entry undergraduate students, the scholarship is valued at €1500 per academic year for the duration of their degree programme and is open to all prospective students from any discipline.

The aim of the scholarship is to contribute to building global citizenship skills in enabling student leaders to take on community action at Ireland’s leading campus for civic engagement.

The University plans to offer this scholarship for September 2025. The application portal and further details will follow in Spring 2025.
