I take it Deputy Catherine Martin is talking about the Wake Up SUSI campaign, which we heard about eight months ago.
It is probably only a small number of students who are affected but the feeling of the committee at the time was that they deserve the same level of support. One thing that struck us was that the CAO form does not specify that these colleges are not covered by SUSI grants. That places students and their families in a particular situation.
