I am pleased to inform the Deputy that a pilot part time grant scheme will be introduced from September 2024.
It will provide fee support to eligible part-time students attending specified publicly funded undergraduate courses leading to a major award.
The scheme is currently being finalised and the Department is working closely with SUSI on this. Details of the Scheme will be issued in due course.
