In addition to the criteria above, applicants:
- Must meet the academic eligibility criteria for their chosen MTU Undergraduate course through the CAO or Direct Application route for a full-time programme;
- Be living in the Republic of Ireland and

More details on academic eligibility may be found below.
GENERAL ADVISE FOR APPLICANTS
The Sanctuary Scholarship Award requires both a traditional academic application to MTU through the CAO or via Direct Applications (for certain courses on the MTU Kerry Campus) to full-time programmes, and a separate scholarship application.
Applications for scholarships will be open to those applying for full time undergraduate degree courses from levels 6 to 8 through the following routes:
- Leaving Certificate,
- QQI FET and/or
- Mature Student entry.
Entry requirements for each course can be found in the MTU Full-time Undergraduate Prospectus.
CAO applicants can use the CAO change of mind facility. Applicants should use the CAO Change of Mind facility wisely, to maximise their chances of gaining entry. We would encourage you to apply for as many of our courses as possible, depending on your genuine study interests and eligibility. Please note that mature applicants can make changes to their course options until 1 May 2022 only.
Important: Please note the scheme does not provide support with the costs of accommodation. Applicants who do not meet the criteria will not be considered for the Scholarship.
HOW DO I APPLY?
You must complete all sections of the online Sanctuary Scholarship Application Form (See booking link below) by 17:00 on 3rd June 2022.
Incomplete applications and/or applications without the required supporting documentation will not be considered.
