Grant Information

Through the Council for the International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) in the U.S., Fulbright pays the Specialist a per diem and travel to and from Ireland. The Irish institution is requested to provide accommodation, meals, and any internal Irish travel costs.

How to Apply?

The Council of International Exchanges of Scholars manages the application process on behalf of the Fulbright Commission.  In order to bring a Specialist to Ireland they must be on the CIES Roster. Individuals and institutions who wish to apply can find information here.

Institutions must confirm their Specialist is on the roster. If the proposed Specialist is not on the roster, he or she will need to go through a review process in the U.S. to confirm their eligibility. Please note roster approvals can take up to four months.

Institutions are required to provide accommodation, meals, and internal travel costs to the Specialist. The Fulbright Commission will cover the Specialist’s per diem and travel.
