Scholarship Overview
Irish universities offer fully funded opportunities for Palestinian students from Gaza to further their education. During the previous year, Ireland welcomed 122 Palestinian students to its higher education institutions. However, 55 fully funded scholarship recipients are currently prevented from starting their studies in Ireland this year due to visa delays involving the Department of Justice. Public figures in Ireland have called on the government to clear these study visas so the affected students can take part in upcoming evacuations and attend their respective colleges.
