What is the 1916 Bursary Fund?
The 1916 Bursary is a financial award, funded by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (DFHERIS) for first time students that are under-represented in higher education.

Any students entering year 1 of an (undergraduate) programme in the academic year (2022/23), full or part-time, with a household reckonable income less than €24,500 in 2021, who are in the identified target groups, can apply for the bursary.
