Fri, Nov 02, 2012
Fine Gael TD for Mayo John O’Mahony has called for the introduction of a tracking system to help college students monitor the progress of their college grant application. Deputy O’Mahony made his suggestion in Dáil Eireann last week and also called on Minister for Education, Ruairí Quinn, to ensure that applications are processed as soon as possible.
The processing of student grants for new entrants has been centralised this year under one body — Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI). This will replace the 66 grant-awarding bodies which were previously responsible for student grants. Local authorities and VECs are continuing to deal with renewal students until they complete their existing courses. Sixty five thousand applications have been received by SUSI this year, of which approximately 35,000 are expected to succeed. SUSI is aiming to award all successful applicants before the end of December.
