Millennium Scholars Trust

What is the Millennium Scholars Trust?

The Bank of Ireland Millennium Scholars Trust was established in 2000 to mark the new Millennium. It is the largest single millennium initiative from either State or private sources. Bank of Ireland has allocated €12.5 million to the Trust, which will award up to 60 scholarships each year of the first decade of the new millennium.

The Trust awards scholarships to people with talent and ability who, because of economic circumstances or other barriers such as disability, are prevented from reaching their full educational potential.

The Trust is administered by National College of Ireland (NCI), on behalf of Bank of Ireland.

Who is eligible to apply?

The Trust welcomes applications from individuals who, because of economic circumstances or other barriers such as disability, are prevented from reaching their full educational potential. Likely candidates will be identified as people having the ability and motivation to participate successfully in third-level education, but who would be unable to progress without financial assistance and other supports. Further detail can be found in the PDF of the full brochure on the Trust.

How to apply for a scholarship

To be eligible for consideration for a scholarship, candidates must be proposed by a Nominating Body. It is expected that in most cases, Nominating Bodies will have close contact with scholarship candidates and will be in a position to provide a personal reference confirming their eligibility.
