What is the Dublin Port Scholarship
The Dublin Port Scholarship was established to help make third-level education more accessible to people living in the communities surrounding the Port.
Open to eligible applicants from Dublin 1, 2, 3 and 4, the programme provides financial support towards the costs and pressures that can come with further education, helping local people progress through their studies and towards the future they want to build.
Over the past 25 years, the programme has supported school leavers, mature students and people at different stages of their educational journey.
