404 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Education and Science when a top-up grant will be payable to persons eligible for same. [30600/01]
My Department funds three means-tested maintenance grant schemes for third level education students in respect of attendance on approved courses in approved third level institutions and one grant scheme in respect of post leaving certificate courses: the higher education grants scheme; the vocational education committees' scholarship scheme; the third level maintenance grants scheme for trainees; and maintenance grants scheme for students attending post leaving certificate courses.
All four schemes have similar provisions, relating, for example, to residency and means, which govern the award of a grant.
