The George J. Mitchell Scholarship is a nationally competitive award sponsored by the US-Ireland Alliance. Named in honor of the former U.S. Senator's pivotal contribution to the Northern Ireland peace process, the Mitchell is designed to introduce and connect upcoming generations of future American leaders to the island of Ireland, while recognizing and fostering scholarship, leadership, and a commitment to community and public service.

The current cycle is for the Class of '14 (2013-2014) for study to begin in autumn 2013. The online application has closed, and the next class of Mitchell Scholars has been announced.
