Attn: 6th Year Students - Naughton Science Scholarship

This correspondence is relevant to those students who intend to pursue their studies in Science, Technology Engineering or Maths at third level institutions in Ireland and who may wish to apply for a Naughton Scholarship.

To date, there are over 450 Scholars and Alumni who have received Naughton Scholarships since the Naughton Foundation Scholarship Programme began. A total of 36 scholarships are awarded on an annual basis, with at least one student selected from every county in the Republic of Ireland.

Each Naughton Scholarship is valued at €25,000 i.e. €6,000 for each year of the student’s third-level course as well as a €1,000 award for each successful school to purchase STEM equipment. A list of the 2024 and 2023 winners published in the Irish Times is attached for your information.

We are interested in students applying to study STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) related subjects rather than future practitioners (Medicine, Nursing, Veterinary, Physiotherapy etc) who will be unlikely to receive a scholarship. All applications are reviewed once CAO offers are released and the winners of scholarships are notified by mid-October.

Full details on who is eligible to apply for a scholarship, the terms and conditions applicable to the scholarships and answers to frequent questions are available at www.thenaughtonfoundation.com/
