What is a bursary?
We believe financial circumstances shouldn’t prevent students from being part of the Trin community. The College offers needs-based bursaries to prospective and current residents who may require financial assistance to live with us.
Bursaries are awarded confidentially at the discretion of the Head of College, generally to residents intending to stay for the full academic year. To be eligible you must have received and accepted your Accommodation Offer.
