Ireland Canada University Foundation 2024 Craig Dobbin Legacy Scholarships

Thirty Craig Dobbin Legacy Scholarships will be awarded under this programme, with the vision that these scholarships will help lay the groundwork for future generations of scholars to explore and deepen the ties between both nations.

Fifteen of these scholarships will be awarded to UCD scholars seeking to conduct research in Canada, with the remaining fifteen being awarded to Canadian scholars seeking to come to UCD to conduct research and to build research partnerships. To honour the very special connection between Newfoundland and Ireland, a minimum of three scholarships will be made to scholars whose application proposes to conduct research which connects Memorial University Newfoundland with UCD.
