Financial Supports

Students sitting by the main lake on UCD Belfield campus

UCD Access and Lifelong Learning recognise that many students could not succeed in university without some financial support.

Access & Lifelong Learning delivers a range of initiatives to facilitate widening participation in UCD, including outreach, admissions and student support. Through UCD Access and Lifelong Learning, students from a variety of backgrounds including mature students, school leavers from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and those with a disability are encouraged to progress and succeed at UCD.

You can find information here about the various scholarships schemes available to assist students entering UCD and registered UCD students, as well as our guides to submitting a scholarship application.
