    Today i got the following email from susi

    "We note that you were awarded a student grant by SUSI in the 2016-17 academic year and our records indicate that you have either completed the final year of your current course and/or that you may have exhausted the student grant funding currently available to you.

    We wish to advise you that SUSI will be accepting student grant applications for the 2017-18 academic year from 3rd April 2017."

    i dont understand this at all but i must say this isnt the first trouble i've had with susi.. at the start of the year i was given 600/month of a grant and then they reduced it to 333, and for 2 months straight i wasn't getting grants.. now they cut them off completely in march when im still supposed to get paid for april, may and june... that's 1000 euro being cut off from me! i emailed them and im waiting for their answer. I tried calling them as well but the office is closed now.. so i will have to call them tomorrow. does anyone know why would they cut it off? my attendance isnt so bad either

    this is the answer i got from them

    "
    Dear David,

    Thank you for your email.

    The e-mail you received was advising that you will be completing your level 5 course in May so therefore you will need to be moving onto a higher level next year.


    I hope this information helps. Further details on the Student Grant Scheme can be found on www.susi.ie. "

    First of all im on level 6. Second thing, the email clearly said that i finished my year OR exhausted my funds for this year. That would mean im getting no more money.
