While the decision on eligibility for a student grant is a matter for a student's local grant awarding body, my Department understands that a delay has arisen in processing the grant application from the student to which the Deputy refers for two reasons. First, the application was submitted late and, second, the application was incomplete as it was not accompanied by any of the necessary supporting documentation. The grant awarding body has advised that the student has now regularised matters and that it will be in a position to issue a decision on her application shortly.
