View answerThe student support unit of my Department was contacted recently by Sligo County Council, the awarding body in this case, seeking advice in respect of an application, by the student referred to by the Deputy, for assistance towards the cost of tuition fees under the higher education grant scheme for a course at postgraduate level.
Officials from the student support unit have responded to Sligo County Council on the query raised. Sligo County Council will advise the student of the outcome of the grant application once they have finalised their decision.
