Bursary Awards

  • Tier 1: €5,000 per annum. In 2023, Tier 1 Bursaries will be awarded to a total of 51 TU Dublin new entrant undergraduate students for the duration of their studies.
  • Tier 2: €2,000 per annum. In 2023, Tier 2 Bursaries will be awarded to a total of 25 TU Dublin new entrant undergraduate students for the duration of their studies. Tier 2 Bursaries will be awarded to applicants who meet the criteria for the 1916 Bursary but who did not ultimately qualify for a Tier 1 bursary.

Tier 1 and 2 bursaries will also be paid as students progress into postgraduate study. This means that students already in receipt of a 1916 Bursary and who are completing their undergraduate studies will be entitled to continue to receive their bursary for postgraduate study.

For further information on how the 1916 Bursary is managed, please see the HEA PATH 2 Guidelines. Please note these are 2023/24 guidelines, we are awaiting the updated guidelines from the HEA.
