Patrick and Eileen Smyth Endowed Scholarship

Cal Poly students with a 3.0 or higher GPA who plan a for-credit Cal Poly-approved study abroad program in the Republic of Ireland and/or Northern Ireland, or Irish nationals intending to attend Cal Poly, may apply. Preference goes to immersive programs, students with financial need, and Irish students traveling to Cal Poly rather than those already living in the U.S.

One award of $7,500 is offered. Deadlines follow Cal Poly study abroad cycles.

Apply through Cal Poly's study abroad scholarship process for approved programs.

Brian Smyth established the fund to honor his parents and connect Cal Poly students with Irish culture while welcoming Irish nationals to campus.
