Dublin Port Scholarship Programme Opens for Applications for 2026/27

6 August 2026

Applications are now open for the 2026/27 Dublin Port Scholarship Programme.

For 25 years, Dublin Port has supported students from communities closest to the Port as they pursue third-level education and take the next step towards their future. The scholarship is open to people living within the Port area of Dublin who may face challenges in undertaking third-level education. Applications are welcome from school leavers, mature students and individuals pursuing undergraduate courses.

Edel Currie, Community Engagement Manager at Dublin Port, said:

‘We are incredibly proud of what our scholars have gone on to achieve, with many studying a wide range of subjects and pursuing careers across many different professions.

Every year, we meet people who are determined to further their education and build a future for themselves, and it is a privilege to support them on that journey. I would encourage anyone who thinks they may be eligible to take the time to apply.’
