Funding Opportunities
The Department of Economics at Trinity College Dublin offers a range of funding supports for doctoral students. These include departmental scholarships open to applicants in all fields of economics, as well as a specialised studentship in economic history offered through the Centre for Economics, Policy and History (CEPH).
Departmental Scholarships
The Department awards a number of fully funded PhD scholarships each year. These typically include:
- Tuition grants
- Annual stipend
- Opportunities for paid teaching and research assistantships
Funding is open to applicants in all areas of economics. All applicants to the PhD programme will automatically be considered for these scholarships if they submit a complete application by the funding deadline.
Departmental Stipends
The Departmental Scholarship will cover EU/non-EU fees plus a basic stipend of €19,000 per year. Additional funding of up to 6,000 per year is available for those willing to take on Teaching Assistant duties and we would prefer applicants who apply on that basis. Applicants to the PhD program will automatically be considered for this fellowship. The application deadline to be considered for funding is 1 April.
