Since its establishment in 1993, The Ireland Canada University Foundation has awarded Dobbin Scholarships to Irish and Canadian scholars and academics whose research has the potential to contribute to the rich academic and cultural relationship which exists between these two countries.
Founded by Dr. Craig Dobbin of Newfoundland and Dr. Patrick Hillery, former President of Ireland, the Foundation was recognised in a 2004 International Memorandum of Understanding by the Taoiseach, Mr. Bertie Ahern T.D. and Canadian Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Paul Martin M.P.
Dobbin Scholarships are targeted at scholars in the early stages of their research career, and are open to scholars of all academic disciplines. The Irish awards are to support scholars resident in Ireland seeking to make a short research visit to a Canadian university or similar institution. The amount of the award depends on duration of research stay.
