We all see dreams and aspire to reach extreme positions in our life but not everyone has enough resources to convert their dreams into reality. Subsequently, many students have will-o’-the-wisp to study abroad but their hands are bound due to financial insufficiencies. With the desire of studying abroad, heavy living expenses are tagged along with tuition fees for the course. Financing all of it through bank loans is not a great option. Then why not use your excellence and intellectual skills to become a scholarship awardee. Every country grants plenty of scholarships to international students in order to assist them financially. Ireland encourages students to apply to their universities and courses by grants scholarships to meritorious students. Three of the most popular scholarships are listed below: 

1. The Walsh Fellowship 

The scholarship program commemorates the late Dr. Tom Walsh, a major contributor in strengthening agricultural and food research and analysis in Ireland. Scholarships are imparted in 30 new places each year with an endowment of €22,000 per student. The scholarship is granted to those students who are working in the fields of food, environment, economics, and rural development.
