A special event hosted at LinkedIn's Community Space in Dublin during the week saw announcement of the latest class of incoming 2025 George Moore Scholars, 57 exceptional students from throughout Ireland, who have been selected to undertake a Master's degree abroad. Among this year’s scholars is Roscommon’s Aoife Coyle.
Later this year, these scholars will begin their academic journeys at leading international universities across the United States, Canada, the UK, and Europe.
Since 2020, the George Moore Scholars programme has awarded over €13m to support over 250 students.
Launched in 2020 by The Ireland Funds, the George Moore Scholars programme invests in the next generation of leaders and innovators. The programme widens access to postgraduate education and extends learning opportunities for students across the island of Ireland. As well as financial support, it provides mentorship and access to a global network of fellow scholars to empower students to achieve their fullest potential and contribute to the global community.
The Ireland Funds is a global philanthropic network established in 1976 to promote and support peace, culture, education and community development throughout the island of Ireland, and Irish-related causes around the world. It has benefited the work of thousands of different organisations, with both financial and non-financial support. Today, The Ireland Funds is one of the largest independent grant makers for the non-profit sector in Ireland.
