    Does anyone have any idea if its possible for me to get a student loan or grant in order for me to repeat the leaving in a private institute, the cost is about €6,900.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you :)

    You wont get a grant from the government for private education.

    You'll have to get a loan from the bank where you will need someone to go guarantor for you.

    You will most definitely not get a grant. Think about it ... why should the government give a grant for this, which is in effect being handed over as a subsidy to a private business, when they're cutting back right left and centre in the state system?!

    As to a loan, I suspect if you're normal school-leaving age it would have to be your parents applying for the loan ... i.e. I doubt if it would be seen as a college / student loan.
