Study in Ireland for Free-Start Your Applications Against 2020/2021

Many international students have one fundamental worry when it comes to studying abroad and that is, finance. The means to raise money for a year's programme in Europe or the West is oft hectic and arduous for many parents, hence many students seek to find alternative means like scholarships and countries with  free tuition fees. There are some countries where fees are particularly affordable for international students such as, Austria, and Germany but in Ireland studying for free does not stricto-senso mean there are no tuition fees, it simply means applying for funds set aside for international students. But wait a minute, why would anyone consider studying in Ireland in the first place?

Well, subjective views hold that Ireland has a lower cost of living compared to other European countries, consequently, you can get more for your money. 

Irish people, they say (don't ask me who-I read that somewhere and I have no means of verifying or attesting to it as I have not been there.), are welcoming to international students. Most importantly, their universities are rated among the best in Europe. Talking about best universities, please ensure that you make sufficient findings about a university before you apply. You want to ensure that you would gain the knowledge which would enable you to create. In addition, ensure that the reputation of the university is one which will increase employability.

So, here are some scholarships you could apply for if you want to study in Ireland.
