It is intended that the four scholarships will be awarded such that there will be a maximum of one scholarship in any of the above degrees, in order to provide a wider balance across the University’s STEM degree programmes.
Students will be assessed on the basis of their Leaving Certificate results or an EU equivalent exam result.
Students must be residents of County Kildare at the time of application for their degree programme at NUI Maynooth. Alternatively, students must have attended a second level school in County Kildare and sat their LC examinations at that school.
All students with a minimum of 500 LC points will be eligible for consideration. The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of points, if there are more eligible students than the number of scholarships available. Students on the same points levels will share the scholarship on a pro rata basis.
Students must have achieved a minimum of 2 grade As in LC higher level papers in Mathematics and any one of the following: Chemistry, Physics, Agricultural Science, Physics and Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Design and Communication Graphics, Technology or Applied Mathematics.
