Up to twelve Mitchell Scholars between the ages of 18 and 30 are chosen annually for one academic year of postgraduate study in any discipline offered by institutions of higher learning in Ireland and Northern Ireland, including Dublin City University, Dublin Institute of Technology, Dun Laoghaire IADT, National University of Ireland, Galway, National University of Ireland, Maynooth, Trinity College Dublin, University College Cork, University College Dublin, University of Limerick, Queen's University Belfast, and Ulster University. Candidates choose 3-5 universities where they would like to study and list them on the Scholarship application, but do not need to apply separately to the universities. If selected as a Scholar, the alliance aims to honor a candidate's university preferences but candidates are not guaranteed their first choice.
