72 New scholars were announced this morning at ten a.m. by Provost Linda Doyle at Front Square, April 28th.
Linda Doyle said: “It’s a happy day and it’s a challenging day, but I just want to say that it’s really important that all of these people who sat schols were brave enough to put themselves forward.”
To achieve the scholarship –also termed ‘Schols’– a student must receive a First Class Honours average across all four exam papers, over 70 in two out of the four exams, and no less than 65 in the other two.
The number of elected scholars fluctuates year on year with no cap on the number of students that can be awarded the honour. In 2022 51 scholars were elected and in 2005 80 scholars were announced. The earliest available online record of a scholars’ list is from 1925, which lists 22 scholars in total – presumably due to fewer students enrolled in higher education.
Scholars of Trinity College receive rooms on campus and Trinity Halls for up to nine months of the year – free of charge, their tuition fees are waived, and they are entitled to attend Commons – a free three course meal throughout term-time weekdays, and receive a small salary of 254 euro. Scholars may also put ‘Sch.’ after their name if they so wish.
As of January, 909 students were registered to sit the optional exams, with 179 of these students coming from Joint Honours courses and 88 Biological and Biomedical Sciences students.
Last year 73 scholars were elected; 62 scholars were awarded in 2023. In 2016 the number of scholars dipped to 50 students.
Dr. Kerry Houston and Professor Ed Hawkins were awarded honorary fellowships.
