    You cannot get both so yes I would assume one invalidates the other

    If so why does anyone go for the grant instead of BTEA?

    because they are not eligible for BTEA

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Hi. I'm in the same situation here. A mature student. Just wondering, when I applied for the grant I was living in Town X for over ten years so I applied to that county council. College is in town y so have since moved there over 100km away and I've gotten mpat of my grant this year so far (just waiting on final instalment). I am getting my post forwarded to new address so am I better off saying nothing and waiting for renewal form? Or will more proof of residence be required?When do they normally come out?
    Thanks in advance. Sorry for the questions but I'm very new to this.

    Hi, I'm a first year in college, I will be continuing on with the course I am in (hopefully) I am in receipt of the full grant (special rate). Financial situation has not changed, if anything gotten worse.
    • Do I need to apply again for next year's grant?
    • Will I definatly still get the special rate?
    • If I do need to apply for next years grant, when should I do that?
    • What paperwork is needed? Is it as horrible as the original application ?

    I only ask because it took a month to originally sort out my grant. It's really the only money I have coming in other than a small allowance of my father I already have a Loan out to pay for accommodation.

    I have to pay €500 to keep my place in NUIG and I'm wondering will I get that back from BTEA?

    Hi,
    My Brother is due to start a PLC course in September and I have no idea where he needs to apply for a grant or what the situation is, when I done my degree I simply filled out a form and handed it back to the local VEC but people are telling me this has changed and not applicable for PLC courses.
    Also he is dyslexic and I wonder is there a certain kind of funding he can apply for.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    There is also a disability fund - I think he should apply to the college directly for access to that
