Support Schemes Reduction of Non-EU Fee to EU Fee levels.
1. University College Cork provides a "Support Scheme for Students from
Developing Countries" which can allow for the reduction of fees from non-EU to EU
levels.

2. PhD Postgraduate Scholarships: Fee Waiver for Non-EU Nationals
The University also provides a separate scheme for PhD students whereby well
qualified non-EU candidates can apply to have their fees reduced to the EU level. A
limited number of scholarships per year will be awarded on a competitive basis to
non-EU nationals. No more than three scholarships will be awarded annually in any
one faculty. It is the purpose of these scholarships to attract PhD students of the
highest level. These scholarships consist of a waiver of a portion of the normal fee.
Recipients will be responsible only for the normal EU fee. The determination of wards
will be made by the Interfaculty Graduate Studies Board (IFGSB).

to suitably qualified candidates. The recipients of these Scholarships will receive an
award to the value of approximately €6,750 to €8,250 each and will have the
opportunity to tutor to undergraduate students. The application form can be
