372 Ms Enright asked the Minister for Education and Science when the booklet, financial support for further and higher education for 2003-04 will be published and distributed to schools. [15774/03]
The information booklet Financial Support for Further and Higher Education is published by my Department annually. The booklet is a guide to the range of student support schemes and other measures designed to assist students in third level and further education.
Each year the booklet is updated to reflect amendments to my Department's annual student maintenance grant schemes. The annual review of the terms and conditions of the maintenance grant schemes is being finalised within my Department at present. The schemes will issue to the awarding bodies following completion of the review. The 2003-04 edition of the booklet, suitably amended, will then be prepared with a view to publication as soon as possible.
