The US-Ireland Alliance is a 501.c.3 organization that builds contemporary ties between the US and the island of Ireland. Our flagship project is the George J. Mitchell Scholarship program. An annual competition is held in the US to select 12 future American leaders to study at universities in Ireland and Northern Ireland. We also created the annual Oscar Wilde Awards to honor the Irish in the creative industries. The event is held in Santa Monica on the Thursday before the Academy Awards. The event has spawned a networking Cultur Club. We are also creating materials to educate high school students about Ireland.
