After the registration deadline on January 15, 2024, applications will be reviewed, followed by interviews. The top three candidates will be notified on February 1, 2024. These candidates must then apply to Trinity College Dublin. On June 3, 2024, the admission statuses will be reviewed. The fellowship will be awarded to the highest-ranked candidate who receives an offer from Trinity. If the first candidate is not admitted, the next in line will be considered. If none are admitted, the fellowship will not be awarded.
