Each spring, the Robert Emmet Society awards a scholarship to an outstanding North Central Michigan College student for a fall semester of study in Galway, Ireland.

Students at NCMC must present an outstanding essay on the enduring values of Robert Emmet to be considered for the scholarship at Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Galway, Ireland.  Their academic record and student activities at NCMC are also considered by the Scholarship Committee along with their performance at a personal interview with committee members.  The scholarship includes tuition, round-trip airfare, and all housing expenses.
