The All Ireland Scholarships was first proposed by JP McManus when he expressed a strong desire to provide funds for the establishment of a third level education scholarship scheme covering the thirty-two counties of Ireland. He stated that the Celtic Tiger will not be around forever and that education will be the key for success in more difficult times. He was also conscious of the cross border dimensions of the proposed scholarship programme and stated that the All Ireland Scholarships scheme should operate on a similar basis North and South.
The All Ireland Scholarships Programme commenced during 2008. The value of each scholarship is set at €6,750 per annum in Ireland and stg£5,500 per annum in Northern Ireland and will continue for the duration of the undergraduate programmes chosen by the scholarship winners. Participation in the scholarship scheme is confined to those who are exempt from paying the Leaving Certificate Examination fee in Ireland or are in receipt of the Educational Maintenance Allowance in Northern Ireland, and the scholarships are awarded on the basis of the results of a candidate’s first attempt at the final secondary education examinations in Ireland or Northern Ireland.

UCD offers three Sport Scholarship programmes, each designed to support students in achieving excellence both academically and athletically:
- Ad Astra Elite Sports Scholarship (managed by the UCD Ad Astra Academy)
- UCD Sport Scholarship
- Graduate Sport Scholarship
These scholarships are for students who wish to compete and succeed at the highest sporting levels while completing a degree at UCD.
Applications are made entirely online. Links to apply will appear in line with the opening and closing dates for entry listed below. Please note that late applications cannot be accepted under any circumstances.
The UCD Sport Scholarship operates independently of the Ad Astra Elite Sports Scholarship (managed by the UCD Ad Astra Academy). However, applicants to the Ad Astra Elite Sports Programme may choose to have their application transferred to the UCD Sport Scholarship if unsuccessful. This can be done by ticking the relevant consent box on the Ad Astra application form. A separate application is not required in this case.
The Graduate Sport Scholarship is specifically for postgraduate students who continue to compete and succeed at the highest sporting level - both nationally and internationally - while pursuing further study at UCD.
