The grant income assessment is made on your income for the last full tax year. So if you apply for a grant for Sept 2014 the income details being assessed will be from 2013 so taking a job for this summer wont count against you this year but it might next year. However SUSI will disregard up to €3900 holiday earnings as far as I know.

however if you are looking to get BTEA from social welfare for your course then taking a job could prevent that as you need to be getting a social welfare payment immediately before your course starts in Sept.
