    Congratulations to our Entrance Scholarship and Music Scholarship 2024 recipients and their former schools - listed below.

    The €1,000 Entrance Scholarship is automatically awarded to incoming first year students, via the CAO, who have obtained 575 points or more in the Leaving Certificate. 

    President of Maynooth University, Professor Eeva Leinonen, presented each scholar with a bespoke piece of crystal, in recognition of their achievement, during the awards ceremony recently held on the campus. School representatives were presented with a plaque. Family members and guests were treated to an evening of music and refreshments.
     
    Speaking about the event, Assistant Registrar and Director of Admissions, Ita McGuigan said: “We are delighted to celebrate with the Scholarship recipients, their family and schools, their outstanding achievement in the Leaving Certificate. Tonight, we had over 70 Scholars from more than 60 schools from all over Ireland in attendance, who chose to study at Maynooth University."
