    One more question... next to some of those orientation week dates it says: '(Residential)'. what does that mean? do I have to sleep there? (:pac:)

    Yes, you stay in the university and live on campus for 5 days (usually) :).

    Well, I would say "cool!" :)

    Later on, when all the other first years are still trying to figure out are they in the right campus, you lot will know your way around, already recognise faces, be the "cool kids on the block" :pac:

    You should probably either put this in the HPAT Thread or start a new thread about the topic.

    Actually, I've just read the thing fully - It's a load of fúcking bullshít

    You have to meet atleast 3 of the "Indicators" that they've only just sent out, in certain combinations.

    You have to meet the low income band, but ALSO

    Combination one:
    • You also have to have a parent/guardian on social welfare for 6 months
    • and
    • You must be part of a group underrepresented in higher education
    • or
    • You must have attended a DEIS scheme
    • or
    • You must live in an area of concentrated disadvantage
    Combination two:
    • You/Parent/Guardian must be a holder of a medical card from April 2009
    • and
    • You must be part of a group underrepresented in higher education
    • or
    • You must have attended a DEIS scheme
    • or
    • You must live in an area of concentrated disadvantage

    Combination three:
    • You must be part of a group underrepresented in higher education
    • and
    • You must have attended a DEIS scheme
    • or
    • You must live in an area of concentrated disadvantage
    I tick none of the above but was accepted nonetheless

    Are you sure your school wasn't a DEIS school?

    Funding from HEAR, We never had a representive in our school just my Guildance teacher who told me about it. Only put forward the idea of reduced point's to me. Never anything about funding:confused:

    Can anyone shed some light on this? What was the funding in previous year's? Has anyone got it? etc.

    Thanks in advance

    my friends are at the HEAR orientation in UCD at the minute. I heard through friends that they'r grant is €1600 each (they're twins) but i cant be certain. Im going down to the NUIG orientation for HEAR next week so i can let you know for certain then:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31 MichealConroy


    Jesus that amount was be amazing:eek: Not getting my hopes up though, Did'nt expect anything so it's a bonus really.

    I'll still budget for what i can afford to spend for now.
