The George J. Mitchell Scholarship Program is designed to introduce and connect generations of future American leaders to the island of Ireland, while recognizing and fostering intellectual achievement, leadership, and a commitment to community and public service.

Up to twelve Mitchell Scholars are chosen annually for one academic year of postgraduate study in any discipline offered by institutions of higher learning in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The scholarship provides tuition, accommodation, and a stipend for living expenses and travel.

The application for the Mitchell Scholarship requires university endorsement. Please contact Dr. Pat Whitlow at pat.whitlow@uky.edu if you are interested in applying.
