DCU has become the first Irish University designated as a 'University of Sanctuary' due to its commitment to welcoming asylum seekers and refugees.

It is set to provide 15 academic scholarships at both undergraduate and postgraduate level to applicants who are in Ireland either as refugees or asylum seekers. The scholarships will be made available to applicants beginning their studies this coming September.
