The Naughton Foundation was established by Dr Martin and Carmel Naughton in 1994 to support worthwhile causes in the arts and education.
In 2008 they decided to create the scholarship programme to increase their support for Leaving Certificate students who would like to study engineering, mathematics, science, computer science and technology at third level in Ireland, including Northern Ireland.
The scholarship programme has since expanded nationwide and students from all counties in the Republic of Ireland are eligible to apply.
Each county is guaranteed at least one scholarship, with 36 allocated in total.
The 2024 application forms for The Naughton Foundation Scholarship Programme are available for download and can be completed online on The Naughton Foundation website.
