Making Cents: Get in early for Susi’s third level grant applications

More than 19,000 students had already applied to renew their grant by April 22, with many more to come

Students do not need to have their Leaving Cert results or to have accepted a course in order to apply.

With tens of thousands of applications expected in the coming months, the national grant awarding authority SUSI is encouraging any prospective students hoping to get a third-level grant to get organised early.

The authority began accepting applications for new student grants on April 22 and has been accepting renewal applications since the end of March. The priority processing dates are June 10 for renewal applications/July 8 for new applications and Eleanor Murphy, SUSI’s Communications and Customer Services Manager, strongly advises students to bear these dates in mind.
