Student Grants

Arrangements For New Student Grant Applications for 2012/2013

A new ONLINE ONLY student grant application system is being introduced for the 2012/2013 academic year.

All NEW applications will be made online to a single awarding authority, SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland), a unit of City of Dublin VEC, through www.studentfinance.ie.

The details of the 2012/13 student grant scheme are due to be announced in May and the SUSI online application system will be available from that date.

If you are already in receipt of a grant

Students who are currently in receipt of a student grant and who are progressing to the next year of the same course will continue to be assessed and paid by their existing awarding authorities - i.e. the relevant local authority or Vocational Education Committee. If you are changing your course or progressing to a new course you will need to apply to the SUSI online system.
