UCD Scholar, Michaela Dunne with UCD President, Professor Andrew Deeks.
“I was fortunate enough to be awarded a University Scholarship in Law, in 2008 and 2009. In addition to being a great encouragement for my studies, the scholarships have been really beneficial when applying for graduate school at Harvard, and when seeking employment in the US, where candidates are always competing with so many other equally qualified individuals and where every little extra helps! Following my LLM, I worked as a Harvard Law School Public Service Fellow, and am currently working as a Helton Fellow of the American Society of International Law.”

University Scholars
“Winning a UCD choral scholarship had a massive part to play in making my college life an incredible one. The music we made was of a standard I had never experienced before. I had no clue that membership of this ensem- ble would take me to Budapest, let alone on a ten-day tour of the USA! I made some of my greatest friends through my membership of UCD Choral Scholars, and the best part is that we hail from all over the country and are studying completely different things.” Kate Lenehan, Choral Scholar
University Scholarships are awarded on the basis of outstanding academic performance in each stage of a programme. UCD awards over 200 such scholarships to students at the University Awards Day each year.
Benefits Recipients are presented with a bursary and a parchment, and the scholarship is noted on their academic transcript.
