Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) International Scholarship
The Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) is one of Ireland's newer technological universities, formed by the merger of Athlone and Limerick institutes of technology, with campuses across the midlands and mid-west (Athlone, Limerick, Thurles and others). It offers international merit scholarships — typically tuition reductions of around EUR 2,000-4,000 (LKR 690k-1.38m) — to strong international students admitted to eligible Bachelor's and Master's programmes in engineering, computing, business, science, and health. TUS is practice-focused, with strong industry links and lower tuition than Ireland's older universities, making it an affordable route into an Irish degree with the same post-study work rights. For Sri Lankan students seeking a career-oriented, budget-conscious Irish qualification in a STEM or business field, TUS is a realistic option. Exact award levels, eligible programmes and deadlines are set each intake, so confirm current terms on the TUS website.

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
Technological University of the Shannon — 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
EUR ~2,000-4,000 Tuition Reduction (Merit). 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.

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.
