• Opening Date for Applications: 1st February 2023

Uversity Higher Education Scholarships for Adult Learners are intended to remove financial barriers so that adult learners can unlock their potential and realise their ambitions.

Uversity’s scholarships will provide multi-annual financial support for recipients to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree for the first time in participating third level institutions in the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland. Scholarships can be any subject area and will be tailored to recipients’ financial circumstances to cover some or all of the direct and indirect costs associated with higher education.

Successful candidates must:
