Scholarship Overview
A fully-funded educational opportunity exists for Palestinian students to pursue an engineering degree at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland. This scholarship recently featured in a High Court ruling after a 20-year-old student from Gaza, Shaymaa Abudalu, successfully challenged an Irish visa refusal. High Court Judge Anthony Barr ruled that the decision by Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan contained significant errors, ordering the State to reconsider the visa application within 10 working days.
