UCD Undergraduate Scholarships for Outstanding Academic Achievement

UCD undergraduate scholarships acknowledge the highest academic achievement by students within their UCD degree programmes. Scholarships are awarded to students who achieve an outstanding performance in their assessments for the previous year; normally achieving a GPA of 3.68 or more in modular programmes or first class honours in the remaining non-modular traditional programmes. In many cases, scholarships are reserved for students who attain first place within a particular subject area.

UCD Choral Scholarships

The UCD Choral Scholars form UCD's award-winning vocal ensemble with a repertoire of choral music ranging from the contemporary to the medieval. Founded in 1998, the scholars have become UCD cultural ambassadors. The Scholars give between six and ten major performances each year including a Winter Concert in November, a Spring Concert in April (usually with orchestra), and a performance at the UCD Foundation Day Celebrations in November. Students from any of the degree programmes are appointed each year to the UCD Choral Scholars.
