What is a scholarship or bursary?
Scholarships are generally merit-based, while bursaries are needs-based. Some are awarded for the duration of university studies, while others are awarded for one year only. You can only apply for a Trinity Residential College scholarship or bursary if you intend to live with us for the full academic year.
To help us continue fostering academic excellence and access to education, please consider making a donation to support our scholarship and bursary initiatives.

Other financial support
There’s a range of fee support in addition to what we offer as a college. Most universities have a selection of scholarships designed to support students from all backgrounds. We also offer an immediate family discount.

Tertiary Access Payment

Meet Maggie
"Receiving the scholarship has helped me make the most of my time at university."Thanks to the Trinity Residential College Thrive Award, I have been able to ease my financial strain and dedicate more attention to my academic work. The support helped me purchase essential equipment for my degree and gave me the time to engage more fully in both the academic opportunities and community life at College. Thanks to this, I feel more present, less overwhelmed and able to make the most of everything college life has to offer.
