Mitchell Scholar Program

[spainbound15]

Hello all,

 

I have been researching programs (apart from Fulbright) that award fellowships/scholarships to spend time studying and/or research abroad. One of the programs I found that most fits my candidacy is the Mitchell Scholar program in Ireland. I did some searching on Grad Café but could not find any thread or discussion about this program, so, I thought I'd reach out and see if anyone else out there is looking into or knows more about this program (or, ideally, has been through the application process).

 

Cheers.

Anything on this?

It is highly competitive. Most schools have internal deadlines to nominate candidates (seniors and alums), and I'd be surprised if they haven't passed already. Additionally, your reasoning for why Ireland has to be air tight. They are looking for people with strong connections to Ireland and for future leaders.
