Ten Donegal students receive Trinity College Dublin entrance awards
A total of 602 first-year students from all 32 counties of Ireland and overseas have received Entrance Awards from Trinity this year
Ten students from Donegal have received prestigious Entrance Exhibition awards from Trinity College Dublin in recognition of outstanding performances in their final school examinations.
A total of 602 first-year students from all 32 counties of Ireland and overseas have received Entrance Awards from Trinity this year. The students and their former school principals were invited to receive and celebrate their awards at ceremonies in Trinity’s Examination Hall.
“I also want to congratulate all those who have supported these students on their journeys. In addition to their parents and guardians, I want to acknowledge the dedication of school principals, teachers and wider school staff - both primary and secondary - who play such a vital role in bringing out the best in students during their formative years.”
The awards go to students accepted into the first year of a full-time undergraduate degree who achieve the highest points among Trinity entrants from their secondary school, above a minimum of 500 CAO points (or equivalent). When more than one student from a school gets the same high points, all receive an award. Many former awardees have gone on to make a significant contribution to the economic, cultural, and political life of Ireland and beyond. Past Exhibitioners include former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. Awardees receive a certificate and a €150 book token.
