Trinity Alumni Fund
‘Alumni support helped me to believe in myself and find the self-confidence to become the person I am today’

Your donations to the Trinity Alumni Fund are a critical part of the support network that surrounds every student in Trinity. For many students, especially those from underprivileged, underrepresented or marginalised communities, your ongoing support may be the lifeline that enables them to remain in university and complete their degree.
The Wraparound supports you will be helping to provide.
- Trinity Access Programmes Your alumni gifts help to fund supports for hundreds of students from disadvantaged, underrepresented or marginalised groups, opening the door to a university education for those who would otherwise not be able to fulfil their true potential.
- Life-Changing Scholarships With your help, we can offer a wide range of targeted bursaries and scholarships to struggling students, such as Trinity Access Student Scholarships or the Asylum Seekers Access Provision Scholarships.
- Counselling and Mental Health Support Alumni gifts help to fund counselling services for students experiencing emotional or mental health difficulties. The Student Counselling Service is currently experiencing unprecedented demand resulting in long waiting lists.
- Disability Support Alumni help to provide a vast range of supports to students living with a disability, such as Accessible Accommodation and Specialised Assistance for students with hearing loss or autism.
- Emergency Support For some, life as a student can be difficult. Alumni help to fund emergency support for students in crisis so they can get the immediate, practical help they need.
- Mentorship Trinity's Mentorship Programme provides alumni with the opportunity to support directly students by sharing their personal experience and wisdom. Thanks to alumni support, Foundation and Access students can avail of a personal Trinity Access Advisor to give them the support they need throughout their time in university.
