Scholarships Spotlight

The KPMG Scholars Programme, established by the UCD Quinn School and KPMG, is one of a number of opportunities developed to empower Quinn students to thrive throughout their academic journey offering various supports including mentoring and a summer internship. 

Scholarships are open to students at the Quinn School and are awarded based on merit, achievement, and enabling impact. Over the course of ten years there will be a total of 40 KPMG Scholars.

Quinn works to create opportunities and support global experiences and opportunities for our students. One recent example is the Nobel Dialogues Scholarship aimed at future changemakers, students who are passionate about change and advancing equity and justice in the world.
