Carry Forward Casement’s Legacy Through Post‑Graduate Impact
What’s Fully Covered and What You Should Plan For
The Fellowship offers full coverage of tuition fees, round‑trip travel expenses, accommodation during the academic year, a living stipend (typically around €700/month), a settling‑in allowance, a completion/ departure allowance, insurance, and permit processing fees. Student accommodation is arranged and funded for the first two trimesters—while trimester three includes a stipend for rent
Do note that dependent support and visas for spouses or children are not included. Recipients are responsible for arranging personal expenses such as initial arrival costs, visa applications, and travel insurance prior to reimbursement
Timeline & Application Journey
Applications open in June 2025 and close on 25 July 2025. The 3‑stage selection process begins with a preliminary application that assesses eligibility and outlines programme choices, followed by a detailed submission and interviews in October. Shortlisted candidates may be required to sit an IELTS exam unless already holding a valid certificate issued in 2023 or later
Why This Fellowship Stands Out
Being selected for the Casement Fellowship means more than studying in Ireland—it’s a call to build capacity and leadership in human rights within Nigeria. By gaining education abroad and returning equipped to inspire change, scholars become part of a network bridging communities and institutions between Nigeria and Ireland
