The All Ireland Scholarship Scheme which is funded by JP McManus provides financial support to high achieving students from low income households. The scholarships were first awarded in the Republic of Ireland in 2008 and became available in Northern Ireland in 2009.
The scholarship offers students financial support of £5,500 per annum for the duration of their course.
Twenty five scholarships will be awarded to students who attend a grant aided Post Primary school or a Further Education College in Northern Ireland.
Applicants must have been in receipt of the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) at the time of examination, and due to commence an undergraduate course in university in the academic year of 2025/2026.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 4pm on Thursday 28 August 2025.
