The Mitchell Scholarship Program covers all costs of post-graduate academic study on the island, including tuition, accommodation (on-campus when available), and a monthly living stipend (currently $1250 USD) for up to 12 months of post-graduate academic study. The majority of programs last nine months. If the program of study necessitates staying on the island for more than three months, an additional summer stipend of up to three months will be offered (for a maximum of 12 months). The US-Ireland Alliance will also supply and arrange one round-trip airline ticket between the United States and Ireland, which will be booked directly with the airline. Everyone who is a Mitchell Scholar is responsible for obtaining and funding his or her own health insurance while studying abroad.
