Graduate Funding at the School Irish Studies

The School of Irish Studies, with the generous support of the Canadian Irish Studies Foundation, announces new graduate studies funding guidelines for students commencing their graduate program in or after the 2019-20 Academic Year. Earlier funding guidelines and amounts will be honored for current/ongoing Irish Studies graduate students. These guidelines apply to incoming Master’s and PhD students working on demonstrably Irish-themed research topics within any number of disciplines (History, Literature, Theatre, etc.) or in the context of Concordia’s interdisciplinary graduate programs (HUMA, INDI) and whose supervisor (or a thesis committee member) is a faculty member or faculty fellow of the School of Irish Studies.

Deserving applicants are eligible to receive Irish Studies funding up to $20,000 per year during the first four years of their PhD, or up to $12,000 per year during the first two years of their Master’s degree. Annual Irish Studies funding can be combined with whatever other funding a student succeeds in securing from other sources (e.g. from their specific program, the School of Graduate Studies, outside funding agencies, teaching or research assistantships, etc.)

Interested applicants should visit the School of Irish Studies’ website for faculty and faculty fellows’ supervising/research interests. They should then contact the relevant faculty member to discuss the viability of their proposed project and the possibility of supervision. 

Annual funding awards are typically disbursed in two instalments during the academic year. After the first year, ongoing students must re-apply to the School for continued Irish Studies funding by reporting on their academic progress, involvement in School activities, funding history, etc. All funding awards are made at the discretion of the School’s Scho
