On 22 July I announced a substantial package of supports for third level institutions and students to mitigate the impacts of Covid-19. 

This package includes an allocation of €15million to assist disadvantaged Further and Higher Education students and learners that otherwise would experience difficulties in participating fully in their chosen programme.

The distribution of the funds and the principles and eligibility criteria governing the additional supports for students in relation to access to devices is being finalised in consultation with key stakeholders.
