Think Again Scholarship with UCD - rethinking access to third level education

If you never thought you’d go to university, think again. If you’ve spent your life thinking about everyone but yourself,  think again. If you thought you couldn’t afford college fees or  be able to support yourself, think again. Now is the time for you to think about – and for – yourself. It’s time for you to think again.

The University College Dublin Think Again Scholarship provides funding for living costs, as well as a range of other vital supports such as career and personal development.

UCD has a long history of striving for equity of access to education, with 34.6% of our students coming through access routes.  Think Again is our newest and most ambitious project. The programme is for women on low income, aged 23 and above, who want to study part-time or full-time for a degree.
