Our mission is to work in partnership across the education sector and with students, teachers, families, communities and businesses to widen access and participation at third-level of under-represented groups.
We offer a range of access programmes for people with the enthusiasm, motivation and ability to succeed at third-level.
TAP gratefully acknowledges the support received from:
The TAP 20 partners, corporate supporters, Trinity Alumni and other private donors.

The third-level access activity is funded by the Irish Government and part funded by the European Social Fund under the Human Capital Investment Operational Programme 2007-2013.
