The following table made available to my Department by SUSI, provides details in relation to the 50 students referred to by the Deputy who received a payment from SUSI.

SUSI has a flexible repayment policy whereby students are invited to propose a repayment plan in line with their ability to repay. The question of whether or not a student may proceed with their studies while repaying any grant overpayment does not fall within the remit of SUSI.
