University of sanctuary students

DCU is designated as a University of Sanctuary - meaning, DCU provides fifteen academic scholarships to applicants who are currently in Ireland in Direct Provision either as asylum seekers or refugees.

DCUSU has staunchly supported the rights of our Sanctuary Students, including national campaigns to prevent the deportation of our students. We support the abolition of Direct Provision. If you would like to get involved in our work on this, please email alishaer.ahmed@dcu.ie.
