Student Life Bursary

We are excited to invite TU Dublin students to apply for the TU Dublin Student Life Bursary.

The TU Dublin Student Life Bursary is an opportunity for students who are going ‘above and beyond’ in their participation and contribution to student Sport Club or Society committee and Student Volunteering activities and have an idea for a project that will benefit the TU Dublin community. You must already be active in one of these four Student Life activity streams to be eligible to apply.

Students in receipt of the bursary will receive staff support to realise their project and a financial award and university recognition upon completion.

€500 Student Life Bursary:
Projects that are outside of core committee work and that benefit the wider student sport club, society or volunteering group/ activity are eligible for the €500 Student Life Bursary. We expect students to commit a minimum of 20 hours to the project.

€1,000 Student Life Bursary:
If your project goes further than benefiting the TU Dublin community and is designed to contribute to a community that are based in one of the Bursary's three sponsoring local councils as well, you will be eligible for the €1,000 Student Life Bursary.
We expect students who are undertaking projects eligible for €1,000 to commit a minimum of 30 hours to the project.

The financial award will be paid in April 2025 and upon completion of the project.

The three sponsoring councils are:
  • Dublin City Council
  • Fingal County Council
  • South Dublin County Council
