Free fees scheme 2018

Lillymcg

Got approved for a susi grant to cover my student contribution and now have noticed something about the free fees scheme? I’ve looked for info and can’t find much to help me, just wondering does anyone know what this covers and how much it will pay? And who’s entitled to free fees?
I will be studying a level 8 course in Maynooth this year and have done a plc last year will this affect it?

You are ok as you are progressing from a level 5/6 onto a level 8.

Great any chance you know what fees it’ll cover?

It’ll all depend on what type of grant you were awarded. If you’re awarded the full grant it’ll cover the €3000 registration & tuition fees , any field trips as well. Were you awarded a maintenance grant as well.

ive been awarded No maintenance with 50% tuition fees or 100% student contribution

If it 100% contribution fee that’s the €3000 registration, however why only 50% of tuition fees or is it 100% tuition fees & 50% continuation .

Sorry, contribution fee.
