Under the residency requirement of Section 14(4) of the Student Support Act 2011, a student must have been resident in Ireland for at least 3 of the 5 years immediately prior to commencing an approved course in an approved institution in order to qualify for a grant. However, a student may qualify for a grant, having met the residency requirement during the course of their studies.
