Trinity College Dublin (TCD) has launched a new scheme in conjunction with the Bank of Ireland that will help parents cover the cost of fees.
The student loan programme is designed to help individuals afford the €2,250 annual Student Contribution Charge for undergraduates.
Parents will be able to use the TCD Finance initiative to spread the cost of university through payments of €100 per month.
TCD Provost Dr Patrick Prendergast said: "Trinity is conscious of the difficulties faced by students and their families in financing a university education as a result of the current economic downturn."
The scheme is the first of its kind to be offered by an Irish university and is designed to ensure school leavers are able to access quality higher education.
Ranked 65th in the top 100 world universities by QS World University Rankings 2011, TCD is recognised as Ireland's premier university and is 42nd in the Times Higher Education European University Rankings.
