Scholarship details
In memory of Gaelic football legend Brian Mullins, University College Dublin offers incoming full degree offer holders a scholarship award for future recipients to pursue their academic goals at UCD while promoting Gaelic games. This award is administered by UCD Sport with support from UCD Global.
The Graduate Sport Scholarship is a programme specifically for students who are competing and succeeding at the highest sporting level – nationally and internationally - while simultaneously completing a post graduate programme at UCD.
