Flights: These will be booked and paid for by the school in cooperation with the successful candidates.

Accommodation: This is to be sourced by students. Any necessary pre-booking deposit can be paid by the school. The remainder of the scholarship after these deductions are made can be transferred to the student via your my.tcd.ie account when you arrive in Sydney.
