Congratulations to our past student Hannah Smith who received a Trinity Entrance Scholar Award last night, in recognition of her outstanding achievement in her Leaving Certificate. We wish her every success in her study of Law and Politics.
These awards demonstrate Trinity’s commitment to academic excellence and are a distinctive part of our history. Entrance Exhibitions first came into being in 1870. They were established by Humphrey Lloyd who was an eminent physicist and Provost of Trinity. They were awarded to just 12 students on the basis of a competitive examination covering a wide range of subjects taken in the first year. Since 1985, Entrance Exhibitions have been awarded on the basis of performance in public examinations such as the Leaving Certificate.
