University College Cork - The William L. Markey Scholarship

The William L. Markey Scholarship

You will receive up to 380 EUR to spend a full academic year at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the United States. In addition to this funding, UMass Amherst will waive your tuition fees, enabling you to study abroad for a year without paying any tuition fees. University College Cork (UCC) awards this scholarship as part of its student exchange programme with UMass Amherst. UCC selects one undergraduate student each time, as often as its financial resources allow.

Who can apply

• University: You are enrolled as a student at University College Cork.
• Level: You are an undergraduate.
• Field of study: Any subject can apply.
• Grades: You have top academic results (high honours).
• Nationality: Applicants of all nationalities are welcome to apply, provided they are enrolled at UCC.

How to apply

Apply via the UCC International Office as part of the ‘Go Abroad’ programme. The single place will be awarded to the applicant with the best academic record.
