• Since 1993 ICUF has awarded Dobbin Scholarships to both Irish and Canadian scholars and academics whose research contributes to the rich academic and cultural links between Canada and Ireland. The awards are named after Craig Dobbin, whose initial most generous donation in 1993 led to the foundation of the Ireland Canada University Foundation. Since 1993, the Dobbin Scholarships have been supported by many individuals, organisations, businesses and corporations who share Craig’s vision, and the vision of ICUF.

• The amount of the award is contingent on the duration of the research visit, and is based on a duration of between two and four weeks. The precise details of the visits are left to the scholars to decide on and arrange for themselves. Awards are structured as follows;
  -Canadian Scholarships: Travel expenses up to a total of CAD 1,300 will be paid to scholars (on transfer of receipts to ICUF) and a weekly stipend of CAD 1,000 will be paid to scholars. This will range from CAD 2,000 (two week visit) to CAD 4,000 (four week visit).

  -present a research proposal of high academic caliber
  -are in the early stages of their research career
  -propose to conduct research which will lead to increased collaboration between Canada and Ireland
  The plan and schedule for the visit, as presented in the Application Form, will be an important factor in the panels’ evaluation.
