Under the terms of the Student Grant Scheme, grant assistance is awarded to students attending an approved course in an approved institution who meet the prescribed conditions of funding, including those relating to nationality, residency, previous academic attainment and means.

The decision on eligibility for a student grant is a matter, in the first instance, for the centralised student grant awarding authority SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland) to determine.

I have been advised by my officials that the student referred to by the Deputy was issued a grant award letter by SUSI on 4^thJanuary 2023 and the application is now finalised.
