WIT Indian Wicket Scholarship Ireland- 2014

What is WIT Indian Wicket Scholarship Ireland- 2014?

WIT International Student Scholarships

We are pleased to offer International student scholarships in all disciplines at WIT for undergraduate and postgraduate students commencing their studies in September 2015.

Diversity of students in terms of country of origin is one of the pillars on which international education in any institution is founded. In order to encourage high calibre applicants to study at our Institute, we offer a number of scholarships to Non-EU citizens on an annual basis.

This year WIT is particularly interested in attracting high calibre applicants from the Republic of India, in line with our international strategy and as a result we have just launched a dedicated, but limited number of Scholarships for Indian Nationals (The WIT Indian 'Wicket Scholarship' 2015).

Please note that the deadline for all WIT awarded scholarships is the 31st of May, 2015.
