The Maynooth Access Programme 25th Anniversary Appeal

Join us in celebrating a quarter-century of transformative impact!

This year marks the silver jubilee of the Maynooth University Access Programme (MAP), a pivotal initiative launched in 1998-99 to enhance accessibility to higher education at Maynooth University. Over the past 25 years, MAP has been instrumental in reshaping the landscape of education by pioneering alternative pathways, engaging with schools and communities to foster ambitious goals among underrepresented demographics, and delivering unparalleled student support to bolster retention and progression rates.

From its humble beginnings with a single staff member in 1998-99, MAP has blossomed into a formidable team comprising 27 dedicated MAP staff members and four associated personnel by 2023-24. Its unwavering commitment to excellence has garnered national acclaim, establishing MAP as a trailblazer in effective practices and policy formulation.

The Maynooth University Foundation takes immense pride in championing MAP's 25th Anniversary celebrations this year. As we reflect on the journey thus far, we invite you to be part of this milestone occasion and contribute to the continued success of MAP. Your support will enable us to further expand our reach, empower more individuals, and pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future in higher education.

Together, let's commemorate 25 years of impactful initiatives, remarkable achievements, and countless lives transformed through the Maynooth Access Programme. Join us in shaping a legacy that inspires generations to come.
