Trinity Endowment Fund in Action The Endowment Fund supports a wide range of activities across the University, including 400 prizes awarded annually to the highest overall performance in degree examinations and entrance awards. The Endowment Fund also supports scholarships including the Postgraduate Travelling Scholarship in Medicine and Surgery, the Provost’s Asian Travel Bursary, the Emergency Financial Assistance Scheme, and the Mainie Jellet Fund, established in 1987 by members of the artist’s family to help students in art history to travel abroad. Exceptional donations have helped shape education and research in specific disciplines – the George Gabriel Stokes clinical chair in haematology was established in 1995 through a gift from the Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust, and the Lippert Chair of Jewish Studies was established by the American Ireland Fund to honour Al and Felice Lippert. Or your gift could also engage the wider public in wonderful research. In 2015 the Burren Conservancy established the Plants of the Burren Fund to enable staff and students in Trinity’s Department of Botany acquire and present information to the general public on the plants of the Burren, the unique biosphere in County Clare. In addition, the Endowment Fund supports academic teaching in several disciplines, along with significant investment in the University’s systems. We have grants and prizes going back to 1837 and earlier. By donating to the Endowment Fund, you will become part of the fabric of Trinity, leaving a lasting legacy of support and joining the University in continuing the gift of education and life- changing research. Moya Noctor Reid Entrance Exhibition Award 2020/21 English Literature and Drama Studies The Trinity endowment fund has enabled me to pursue my dream course, which I otherwise may not have been able to do. It has made living in a new city away from home easier and more affordable and is one of the things that motivates me to commit to my work and do the best I can. Cathal Hannafin Reid Entrance Exhibition Award 2017/18 Pharmacy (Integrated) I am so grateful for the Fund; without it I genuinely wouldn’t have been able to attend college in my chosen course. Now, I am doing my Integrated Masters in Pharmacy and my first publication on Inhaled Amorphous Forms for Pulmonary Drug Delivery is due to be published in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics in 2022, I’ve done experimental work on finding treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and research on the most appropriate use of a dose analyser. My time in college has been amazing and has got me started into an exciting career of pharmaceutical research, none of it would have been possible without the endowment fund; and I am so, so grateful for that.
