UCD Ad Astra Academic Scholarship Closes 24th August

Applications to the Academic Programme for those entering stage one of a UCD course close on 24th August 23:59. The application is made online via our website, and there may be exceptional pupils in your school who could be interested in applying (to be eligible candidates must have received 6 x H1s in the first sitting of the Leaving Certificate). Applications for our Elite Sports and Performing Arts Scholarships have closed for this September's intake and will reopen in November for September 2027 intake. We would be grateful if you could share this information with your pupils.

The Academy provides a nurturing infrastructure for students who show exceptional potential in academic pursuits, sports or the performing arts. This includes a bursary, academic mentoring, a scholars room, workshops with industry experts, elective modules, team building evenings, campus accommodation, innovative supports and more that will help them to achieve at the very highest levels.

I’ve enclosed the Ad Astra Academy prospectus and Academic flyer that gives more information on this programme. There is further information available on our website, listed below and LinkedIn that features stories from our current and past scholars, as well as the crucial online application forms. 

If there are any candidates you believe would benefit, we would be grateful if you could share this information with them and encourage them to apply. If you would like to discuss the Academy in more detail, please let me know and I would be happy to chat with you or a member of your team.
