The Fund is best described as a contributory payment which helps students meet some of the extra costs associated with being at university.

Applications are means tested and funding is targeted at those students who are in most financial need.
Funding is available to all full-time registered students of the Pontifical University attending an approved course. Full details of the Fund are available at https://www.maynoothuniversity.... Details of approved courses are available at
