Kieran Coughlan: Act early if you are interested in college grants this year

The third level student grants support scheme “SUSI”, is accepting applications for the coming academic year.

The deadline for new applicants is August 1, 2015.

If you, your child or your spouse have enrolled or intend on enrolling for an approved third level course for the 2015/2016 academic year, it is worth checking if a grant from SUSI is available.
