Munster Technological University International Scholarship
Munster Technological University (MTU), with campuses across Cork and Kerry, is one of Ireland's technological universities, offering practical, industry-aligned programmes in engineering, computing, business, sciences, and the creative arts. It runs international scholarships that reduce tuition for talented overseas students — including Sri Lankans — at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. For Sri Lankan students seeking an affordable, hands-on Irish degree outside Dublin's higher living costs, MTU pairs an English-medium EU qualification with strong regional industry links. Ireland's two-year post-study Stay Back visa lets graduates remain and work afterwards. Awards are merit-based and typically applied as a reduction on the international tuition fee.
Annual cycle — tied to admission for the September intake; some awards run on a merit/first-come basis

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
Munster Technological University (MTU), Cork & Kerry — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.
How you are considered
Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.
What it covers
Partial Tuition Scholarship (UG & PG). This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.
Where we come in
We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.

Open to non-EU international fee-paying applicants, including Sri Lankans, applying to eligible MTU undergraduate or postgraduate programmes.
Strong Academic Record
Competitive A/L results (undergraduate) or a strong Bachelor's degree (postgraduate) meeting MTU's entry requirements. Awards reward higher achievement.
English Proficiency
You must meet MTU's English-language requirements (IELTS or equivalent). Many Sri Lankan English-medium applicants meet these with standard tests.
Admission-Linked
Scholarship consideration follows from holding (or applying for) an offer for an eligible programme. Apply early, as some awards are limited and merit-ranked.
Eligible Programmes
Check that your chosen course participates in the international scholarship scheme — coverage and values can vary by department and programme.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?
Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
