Student Grant Application System: Discussion with SUSI
1:10 pm
Ms Jacinta Stewart:
It varies. We considered the Scottish model in particular. One problem is that the grant is being means tested within a short period, as the student is more or less in college from the beginning. We wanted to commence the system as quickly as possible. The annual budget is approximately €5.5 million this year.
