These groups include under-represented school leavers, mature students, students with disabilities and members of the travelling community. Over 6 percent of full-time undergraduate students are registered with a disability and this is one of the highest participation rates nationally.

MAP's supports are personal, academic and financial in nature and are designed to promote confidence and independence. Maynooth University is a national leader in both attracting and retaining school leavers from socio-economic disadvantaged backgrounds, mature students and students with disabilities. From a national perspective, MAP has taken a leadership role in developing national policy in the area of widening participation. From an institutional perspective, MAP has developed a number of models of academic support that support transition to higher education of under-represented groups and are acknowledged as innovative models of outstanding good practice.
