I would like to remind you that the closing date for the Ad Astra Academic Scholarship is drawing near (Monday, 5th September 2022) and that there may be exceptional pupils in your school would like to apply (eligible candidates must receive 6 H1s in the first sitting of their leaving certificate and complete an online application made via our website). Each year, we offer up to 15 scholarships for incoming academic students to the Academy.
Our Academy provides a nurturing infrastructure for students who show exceptional potential in academic pursuits, sports or the performing arts. Benefits of the academic scholarship include:
A €3,000 bursary each academic year a scholar is in the Academy
The support of a dedicated academic mentor
A programme of workshops and seminars by academics, distinguished alumni and guest speakers throughout the year to develop the scholars’ academic and personal potential
An elective module to undertake in stage two callled Ad Astra Professional & Personal Development
Networking and development opportunities
Access to the Scholars' Room
Team Building events
Access to campus accommodation (scholars must pay for this themselves)
The scholarship is tenable for the duration of the undergraduate programme, subject to meeting the criteria for scholarship renewal each year.
To be eligible for the Academic Scholarship, prospective students must receive 6 H1's (or its equivalent) in their leaving certificate in any subjects and must complete an online application by clicking here or via the Ad Astra Academy website on/before Monday, 5th September 2022. The online application consists of a personal statement and a statement of achievement called ‘beyond the classroom’. Eligible applications for shortlisting will be scored only on the basis of their application form, weighting of 60% statement of achievement and 40% personal statement.
Please note that the Elite Sports and Performing Arts strand applications closed in January for this September intake. They will reopen on 1st November and close 31st January 2023 for next year's intake.
Unfortunately, no late applications are accepted.
A panel will review and invite shortlisted candidates for interview via Zoom on Tuesday, 20th September 2022.
If a student meets the academic criteria but has not submitted an application they will not be eligible. If a student does not receive 6 H1s but is considering getting a subject rechecked, they can still apply before 5th September 2022. If their grades change, the panel will review the candidate's application and they may be invited for an interview at a later date in the academic year.
You can find the most up-to-date information on the Ad Astra Academy on the Ad Astra Academy website, which includes an FAQ. Further information can also be made by contacting us at the details below.

Good afternoon,
I am delighted to make contact with you ahead of your son or daughter joining us here in Cross and Passion College.
For many of you this will be familiar territory as you have entrusted us with your older children, some of whom are still with us. For others, this will be your first child to enter post primary education or to attend CPC. No matter your particular circumstance, we hope that the information evening to be held next Tuesday, 21st June, will be of use to you.
While our assembly hall is being reconfigured post-Covid we will host this meeting online in the form of a webinar. So, from the comfort of your own home we would like to invite you to join us for an hour or so next Tuesday at 7pm.
