SWSP PhD Postgraduate Support Fund 2026-2027
PhD Postgraduate Support Fund 2026-2027
The School of Social Work & Social Policy has been allocated a small fund by the Trinity Foundation arising from the recent Alumni Appeal. This fund is being used to support PhD Student research, for the following purposes only:
1) Participation in an academic meeting or conference relevant to the student’s research;
2) Participation in a training course or workshop relevant to the student’s research.
3) The purchase of software (student licenses only).
4) Costs related directly to the conduct of PhD research (e.g. travel related to data collection; transcription; purchase of a dictaphone).
Note: This fund does not cover the purchase of IT Equipment, (monitors, headsets, laptops etc.) All such requests should be emailed directly by the student to their supervisor, who will liaise with The SWSP School Manager and PGDTL for approval.
All applications to this fund must be supported by the student’s supervisor. A student who has scholarship funding may claim up to a maximum of €300 in any academic year. A student who is self-funded may claim up to a maximum of €500 in any academic year. All applications must be supported and signed by the student’s supervisor. All applications must include relevant receipts. Please click on the below link for an application form, and the full list of terms and conditions of the Support Fund.
