Information on Funding and Grants for 3rd level study in 2010:
Given that the grant awarding authorities are experiencing significant increased demand for grants, which in the 2009/10 academic year resulted in significant delays in the processing of grant applications in some areas, we want to encourage students to submit their 2010/11 Student Grant Application, as early as possible before the closing date of 31 August 2010.
We would highlight that students do not need to wait until they have accepted a place in college to apply for a student grant.
