Ireland Scholarship: Application Guide

What are Program Providers?

Third-party providers are companies that assist you through the entire process of studying abroad — from pre-departure to returning home. You'll have a company point of contact who will help with things like:

• Applying for your student visa
• Booking your flights (a group discount may be available)
• Arranging in-country accommodation
• Selecting your courses
• Introducing you to other students in your program
• Arranging excursions or special events for international students

What is Direct Enrollment?

By directly enrolling, you're essentially applying to and attending the university as any other domestic student would -- though only for a semester or year. Like college at home, there’s typically a new student orientation that’ll help you get comfortable on campus, but you’ll have to arrange housing, visas, and flights yourself. Direct enrollment is usually the lower-cost option but requires more autonomy from the student. Read more about the difference between provider programs and direct enrollment.
