UCD scholarship honours late Declan McCourt

Declan McCourt

We are pleased to announce details of the Declan McCourt Masters Scholarship in Law. The scholarship has been set up with a €1 million fund at UCD Foundation in honour of the late Declan McCourt, a UCD Law alumnus, businessman, a longtime friend of the Law School and chair of the School's Development Council.

We are currently welcoming applications from final-year law students at the law school who are recipients of the UCD Cothrom na Féinne scholarship and/or the SUSI grant, and who have achieved an upper second-class honours average grade to date.The awardee will receive the equivalent of the EU tuition fees of their one-year masters programme, up to the value of €25,000.This scholarship is a wonderful opportunity for UCD law students who wanted to pursue a postgraduate degree but might not be in a position to do so because of the financial commitment. We are extremely grateful to those who have supported the fund – including many UCD alumni and friends of the university.

More information about the scholarship programme and the application process can be found in the scholarship section of this website. The deadline to apply for the scholarship is 31st May.
