Budget 2023: €1,000 Government contribution

The Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science - Simon Harris and Minister of State for Skills - Niall Collins recently outlined a once-off €1,000 initiative towards the student contribution fee in this academic year, for higher education students eligible for the free fees initiative. 

Details of this once-off cost of living Government measure are published on the www.Gov.ie. website.

Trinity Guidelines are as follows :

  • To receive your payment you must add or update your bank details on your my.tcd.ie portal as soon as possible.
  • Instructions on how to update your bank account details can be found by watching the video on this page.
  • If your bank account details are not updated on my.tcd.ie by the 31st January 2023, a €1,000 credit will be applied to your account against any outstanding or future balance owed.
You selected to pay your fees by instalment when registering for AY 2022/23 and therefore have paid only 50% (€1,500) of your student contribution fee.
