Shannon College of Hotel Management is committed to attracting high calibre students from around the world. To this end, we offer a range of merit-based scholarships to students from a number of non-EU countries, in line with our strategic international priorities.
-
To be eligible for consideration for our Scholarship Schemes, you must have accepted an offer and paid an acceptance deposit; firm or conditional for one of our undergraduate or postgraduate taught masters’ programmes for entry to the Shannon College of Hotel Management in September 2024.
-
A selection committee will assess the eligible scholarship applications based on Merit, review of the personal statement and score awarded during entrance interview.
-
You must confirm your acceptance of the Scholarship within specified timeline. If we do not receive a response, we will consider that you do not wish to accept the scholarship. You must confirm your acceptance of the scholarship via email and (if available) proof of application for your study visa.
-
Our Scholarships are awarded in the form of a partial tuition fee waiver. A scholarship letter will then be generated and available from your application portal (in the supporting documentation section). The scholarship amount is then deducted from the tuition fee applicable for year 1 of your UG or taught master’s programme. This scholarship is a one-off partial tuition fee waiver, it is not a cash award, and no payment will be made by the University.
-
The non-EU Scholarships are open to candidates who are classified as non-EU for tuition fee purposes. You must be a resident of a NON-EU country and must be citizen of the country and resident in that country when applying.
-
You may apply for more than one scholarship scheme if eligible to do so, however, should you be successful you will only be allowed to use one scholarship – that of greatest value to you. The University will only permit the use of one scholarship (University of Galway Scholarship and an external Scholarship cannot be combined).
-
Please note that to be considered for the merit-based scholarship, applicants must be accepted to their chosen programme and must complete a Scholarship Application Process.
-
Refund – University of Galway fees office will be updated in relation to your Scholarship award, so if your fees have been cleared in full and online registration is open, you can register as a student at the University of Galway. If you have partially or fully paid your tuition fee, any surplus amount as a result of scholarship will be refunded to your Irish bank account (once you have registered as a student at the University of Galway and have opened your student bank account, the fees office will transfer the reimbursed amount to your bank account).
-
If you are in receipt of a Scholarship, you must be attending the programme on a fulltime basis. If the holder withdraws from the programme for which s/he has registered or fails to continue throughout the session to meet the attendance and other requirements of the programme, s/he will forfeit the Scholarship and will be required to repay the University the whole or any part of the Scholarship as may be decided.
-
Scholarship is tenable only at the University of Galway in respect of the programme for which it is offered. It may not be transferred to any other programme. The Scholarship is only available in the year in which it is offered. It may not be deferred.
-
The University reserves the right to withdraw, vary or amend any aspect of a Scholarship if it is found that an error or mistake has been made by the University.
-
Scholarship Recipients will from time to time be called up to participate in activities such as welcoming delegations of visits from their home country to the campus and providing a testimonial/video/blog of their experience in their roles as Programme Ambassadors.
