Trinity College Dublin Global Excellence Postgraduate Scholarship
About this scholarship
Trinity College Dublin (the University of Dublin), Ireland’s leading university, offers the Global Excellence Postgraduate Scholarship to support outstanding non-EU students undertaking a taught master’s. It is a partial tuition award designed to recognise academic achievement and to support strong international students choosing Trinity, with a dedicated earlier deadline for some regions.
The award is a one-time tuition fee reduction of 2,000 to 5,000 euros, depending on the applicant’s region, applied to first-year tuition. It can be combined with other funding sources and comes with recognition as a Trinity Global Excellence scholar and access to Trinity’s research, societies, and Dublin’s student community.
Eligibility is for students with non-EU fee status (billed at the non-EU tuition rate) who hold a conditional or firm offer for a full-time postgraduate taught programme at Trinity, with strong academic achievement (around first-class-honours equivalent); Business, Engineering, Natural Sciences, Computer Science and Statistics, and Medicine/Dentistry are excluded, and applicants from China apply for the Claddagh Scholarship instead. You apply for and receive an offer for a taught master’s, complete the online Global Excellence Scholarship form (or email your regional manager) with your offer letter and a 200-word statement, and apply early since awards are made on a rolling basis. For non-EU master’s students aiming at Ireland, it is a helpful tuition award.
