Reid entrance exhibition
In 1888, the sum of £6,200 was received under the will and
testament of the late Richard Touhill Reid to found additional
sizarships. The awards, which do not exceed five in number, are
open only to students of limited means who are not eligible for
the higher education grant and who are natives of county Kerry.
They are granted to qualified candidates on the basis of their
public examination results and are tenable for two years.
Students not eligible are those who:
(a) are above the standing of Junior Freshman (first year)
OR
(b) are graduates of any chartered university
OR
(c) have completed their nineteenth year before 1 May
of the year in which they compete.
Exhibitioners have their Commons (evening meal) free, are
supplied with a laptop and receive a salary of €6,000 per annum.
During the Senior Freshman (second) year, exhibitioners
normally compete for Foundation scholarships. Those who fail
to obtain such scholarships, but are deemed to have shown
sufficient merit, may have their exhibitions extended for two
further years.
Application forms may be downloaded from
www.tcd.ie/
Admissions/undergraduate/apply/forms
and should be
addressed to the Admissions Office to arrive not later
than 31 May of the proposed year of entry.
Taylor exhibition
This exhibition was founded in 1978 by a gift from Mrs. Eileen
Taylor to provide an Entrance Exhibition to be awarded each
year for a two-year period at the discretion of the Head of Music
in consultation with the Department of Music Committee.
Choral scholarships –
Trinity College Chapel Choir
Eight choral scholarships valued at €1,300 are available
for all voices for the year 2012/13.
The choral scholars form the core and leadership of the Chapel
Choir: a mixed-voice choir of about twenty-five singers which
performs in a liturgical context. The choir sings at two regular
services during each week of lecture term and various special
College and University services. However, the choir is not itself
a religious organisation: applicants of any faith, denomination
or none are welcome. Those considering applying for a choral
scholarship should note that some previous choral experience
is an advantage and the ability to read music is essential.
International students find that membership of the Chapel Choir
opens up an element of University life not available to them in
their home universities.
Application is made in person at the Chapel Choir desk in Front
Square during Orientation Week; an appointment for an audition
before the selection committee is then made. All candidates are
informed of the decision of the committee by the end of the first
week of teaching term. There is no pre-application process.
