The Deputy will appreciate that in the absence of all the details that would be contained in an individual application it would not be possible to say whether a student would be eligible for funding under the Student Grant Scheme.

In order to be assessed under the Student Grant Scheme the student referred to by the Deputy should complete an online application form and submit to SUSI, who are still accepting late applications.

In order to be eligible for a grant a student must meet certain criteria under nationality, residency, progression and means as set out in the Student Grant Scheme 2013.
