    The application form is now available on www.studentfinance.ie. If you're unsure as to your eligibility, the SU and Dept. of Education recommend applying and letting the Council decide.

    Those who have already gotten a grant should contact your local authority to ensure you have a full checklist of what is needed for renewal of your grant for the coming year. This will more than likely not be any more than just the income documents provided last year.

    If you were declined last year on income grounds and your circumstances have changed, you can submit income documents again for reconsideration.

    Closing date is the 31st of August, but it's highly recommended to get your application in ASAP!

    Hi ninty9er,

    I'm just wondering when the repeat exam results come out? I'm assuming that my renewal grant application won't be processed until the grant office receive them. Assuming I pass the repeats of course!

    So gutted coz I handed in everything on the check-list last Friday then came home to find the big white letter on the mat.


    Cheers.

    SAA will have notices in the exam centres that will have the results date on them.

    Yes but will they be sent automatically to the grant office or is that something I'll have to do?

    It's a little unfortunate that it's the end of January and not December that you were 23 as that technically rules you out. However, some grant authorities will ignore it even though they're not supposed to.

    To qualify as mature now you also have to have been 3 years out of study.
