Awards

The Flaherty Scholarships support research visits of four to six weeks, with the amount of the award depending on the duration of the research visit.

Awards are structured as follows;

Canadian Scholarships

  • Travel expenses up to a total of CDN$ 1,200* will be paid to scholars (on transfer of receipts to ICUF).
  • A weekly stipend of CDN$ 1,400* will be paid to scholars, to cover accommodation (subject to receipts), and general living expenses. Amount will therefore range from CDN$ 5,600 (four week visit) to CDN$ 8,400 (six week visit).

Irish Scholarships

  • Travel expenses up to a total of €800* will be paid to scholars (on transfer of receipts to ICUF).
  • A weekly stipend of € 1,000* will be paid to scholars, to cover accommodation (subject to receipts), and general living expenses. This will range from €4,000 (four week visit) to €6,000 (six week visit).

The precise details of the visits are left to the scholars to decide on and arrange for themselves. Scholars are of course free to extend the duration of their stay for personal or professional reasons.

* While it is not anticipated, actual amounts may vary from those outlined above, in order to accommodate  exchange rate fluctuations, budgetary adjustments and other unforeseeable external factors.
