SCHOLARSHIPS
ENTRANCE SCHOLARSHIP
The €1,000 Entrance Scholarship is automatically awarded to incoming first year students, via the CAO, who have obtained 575 points or more in the Leaving Certificate (from six subjects in one sitting).
Entrance Scholars have the option of residing on campus (normal charges apply). Entrance scholars who have not already booked their campus accommodation, will be offered campus accommodation during CAO Round 1 offers. Unfortunately, the University is not in a position to offer accommodation places in Round 2 or subsequently to Entrance Scholars, as they are fully booked in Round 1 annually.

The Entrance Scholarship for MH103 Bachelor of Music is for one entrant to the degree commencing in September 2023. The top scoring applicant, based on the MH103 remote assessment, will be offered the scholarship of €1,000. The successful applicant is informed following registration.
