About Trinity College Dublin

Trinity College (Irish: Coláiste na Tríonóide) is the sole constituent college of the University of Dublin, a research university in Ireland. The college was founded in 1592 as the “mother” of a new university, modelled after the collegiate universities of Oxford and of Cambridge, but, unlike these, only one college was ever established; as such, the designations “Trinity College” and “University of Dublin” are usually synonymous for practical purposes. It is one of the seven ancient universities of Britain and Ireland, as well as Ireland’.

Requirements for ABEI/HADDAD Fellowship Qualification

• At the time of registration, the student must have completed their undergraduate degree.
• PhD students or holders of a PhD degree are not eligible for this scholarship programme.
• Candidates who are regularly enrolled in a postgraduate course or possessing a postgradu-ate degree (except PhD) are eligible for this scholarship programme.
• As of this year, Brazilian nationals who hold dual European citizenship are not eligible for this scholarship programme, thus encouraging graduates to return to Brazil after course completion.
• Candidates must be residing in Brazil at the time of registration, ensuring a Non-EU fee status.
• Candidates must demonstrate an overall grade of at least 7.1 for undergraduates, or an A or B for postgraduates.
• The student must not be taking part in an exchange programme.

Interview date, Process and Venue for ABEI/HADDAD Fellowship

Applications will be pre-selected by a board designated by the Haddad Fellowship and the ABEI and candidates will be then interviewed. On 15 June, Trinity will be consulted in relation to the admission status of the candidates. Suitable candidates for the scholarship who do not have an offer of admission from Trinity by then will not be considered. Trinity decision-making process varies across schools, and it may take some time until you receive an update. Announcement of winners is scheduled for 20 June 2022. This date may change since it also depends greatly on the Trinity College Dublin decision-making process.
