Haddad Fellowship & The Lir Academy 2025

The Haddad Fellowship is offering a bursary to MFA students to train at The Lir Academy for one year.

The Lir Academy at Trinity College Dublin is delighted to once again have four of its Master in Fine Arts courses on offer as part of the Brazilian Haddad Fellowship.

The Fellowship covers one year's worth of international tuition fee (2025 - 2026) plus €15,000 to be paid as a monthly stipend.

The courses of study on offer at The Lir Academy include:

We urge any students looking to apply for the Haddad Fellowship to also begin applying for their chosen MFA course as soon as possible as applying for the scholarship and applying for the MFA course are fundamentally different processes, with different deadlines. More information about applying for the fellowship is available here

Applications for The Haddad Fellowship will open from January 8th - April 15th 2025. For any enquiries on these programmes, please contact admissions@thelir.ie.

For more details please see Trinity College Dublin's website here.
