UCD scholarship honours late Declan McCourt

UCD Sutherland School of Law has launched the Declan McCourt Masters Scholarship in Law. 

The scholarship has been set up with a €1 million fund at UCD Foundation in honour of the late Declan McCourt, a UCD alumnus, businessman, and chairman of the Law School’s Development Council. 

UDC is welcoming applications from final-year law students at the law school who are recipients of the UCD Cothrom na Féinne scholarship and/or the SUSI grant, and who have achieved an upper second-class honours average grade to date.

The awardee will receive the equivalent of the EU tuition fees of their one-year masters programme, up to the value of €25,000. 

Post-graduate degrees 

Professor Laurent Pech (Dean of Law and Head of UCD Sutherland School of Law) described the scholarship as “a wonderful opportunity” for UCD law students who wanted to pursue a post-graduate degree but might not be in a position to do so because of the financial commitment. 

He thanked those who had supported the fund – including UCD alumni and friends of the university.

More information about the scholarship programme and the application process can be found on the UCD website.  

The deadline for applications is 31 May.
