Trinity College, Dublin - Reid Entrance Exhibition

Benefit

You will receive 6,000 EUR per year for two years, as well as a free evening meal (known as ‘Commons’) at Trinity College Dublin and a laptop. The 6,000 euros already cover all the fees you are required to pay. The scholarship is awarded by Trinity College Dublin and funded from the estate of Richard Touhill Reid. Up to 5 scholarships are awarded each year. If you achieve good academic results in your second year but do not receive a Foundation scholarship, your scholarship may be extended for a further two years.
