Overview of the Claddagh Scholarship Programme
The Trinity College Dublin Claddagh Scholarship Programme for 2025 aims to support global excellence among undergraduate students. This initiative provides scholarships valued at up to €5,000 each, which will be applied as a reduction to the tuition fees for eligible full-time undergraduate programmes during the first year of study. However, it’s important to note that these scholarships are not available for students pursuing degrees in medicine, dentistry, or acting.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants from outside the European Union are invited to apply for this prestigious scholarship. To qualify, students must pay tuition fees at the non-EU rate. Specifically, students from China, India, and the US are encouraged to explore country-specific scholarships tailored for their regions. The China Undergraduate Scholarship (Claddagh), India Undergraduate Scholarships, and USA Undergraduate Scholarships all fall under this programme.
Application Process and Selection Criteria
The scholarship application process is straightforward and requires all applicants to email their submissions to the Trinity regional manager or officer relevant to their region. Required documents include a Trinity offer letter, a 200-word statement on how the applicant intends to contribute to the Trinity community, and a CV or resume. It’s essential to include your name and Trinity application ID in all correspondence. Selection will be based on academic merit, community contribution potential, and the diversity of the applicant pool.
