Officials in my Department have confirmed with SUSI, the new centralised grant awarding authority, that in the case of the student referred to by the Deputy a grant has been awarded and an award letter issued on 11th October, 2012. In the award letter the student was requested to enter her bank account details online.
All students awarded a grant must supply bank account details. In addition SUSI will seek confirmation of registration from the institution being attended by the student before the first instalment can be paid.
