The Embassy of Ireland is now receiving applications for the Roger Casement Fellowship in Human Rights. This fellowship offers selected students the opportunity to undertake a fully funded one-year master’s level programme at a higher education institution in Ireland.

As part of the wider Ireland Fellows Programme, the Roger Casement Fellowship was established to honour the memory of the Irish human rights activist Roger Casement, who spent some of his early working life in Calabar, Nigeria. He was an early advocate for human rights while in Nigeria and during his later work in the Congo, the Amazon and in Ireland. The award covers programme fees, flights, accommodation and living costs. The Ireland Fellows Programme promotes gender equality, equal opportunity, and welcomes diversity.
