GEORGE J. MITCHELL POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP
If you would like to consider a year of post graduate study in either the Irish
Republic or Northern Ireland beginning in fall 2013, do I have information for
you. The George J. Mitchell Postgraduate Scholarship supports one year of
graduate study at any of nine universities in the two Irelands. They speak
English there, after a fashion. The application deadline for study beginning in
fall, 2013 is October 2, 2012. In other words, rising seniors are eligible to
apply between now and Oct. 2, 2012. Twelve recipients are chosen each
year.
The Mitchell
Scholarship is a prestigious, competitive scholarship program. If you want to
be a credible candidate, you have to start thinking about the essays you’ll need
write well in advance. You can’t wake up on the morning of Oct. 2 and think,
“Gee, I think I’ll apply for the Mitchell.” To be a viable candidate, you’ll
have to devote some serious preparation time. You’ll need to work on your
application over the summer in order to meet the deadline. We on the
Scholarship/Fellowship Committee are willing to help you prepare, if you want to
pursue the Mitchell Scholarship.
If you would like
additional information about the Mitchell Scholarship, please contact Dr. Pat
Taylor, pat.taylor@millsaps.edu or (601)
974-1274. It may be a long way
to Tipperary, but winning one of the Mitchell Scholarships can get you
there!
