George J. Mitchell Scholarships
The US-Ireland Alliance began offering scholarships for study in Ireland and Northern Ireland in 1998 in honor of George J. Mitchell, the Chairman of the peace negotiations in Northern Ireland. Since 2000, 12 scholars are selected annually. Through the George J. Mitchell Scholarship, the Alliance hopes to inspire an interest in Ireland and Irish culture in future American leaders.
Duration of Fellowship: One academic year
Amount of Fellowship: Scholarship covers costs of tuition and housing in addition to a stipend of $11,000—in two installments—and $834.50 (£750) for travel to foreign countries to study their relationship with Ireland (not the United States).
