Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 April 2013
280. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of students who qualified for a student maintenance grant in each of the past five academic years, detailed by the level of award and the awarding authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18789/13]
View answerThe numbers of students (both new and renewal) who received student grants (which may include maintenance or fees) from the academic year 2007/08 to 2011/12 are as follows:
|
2007/08 = 54,666 |
|
2008/09 = 57,261 |
|
2009/10 = 69,486 |
|
2010/11 = 71,532 |
|
2011/12 = 76,644 |
These data are compiled from information supplied to my Department by the 66 grant awarding authorities. In addition, the information below details the breakdown of students in receipt of a grant for the 2011/12 academic year by level of award and grant awarding authority. The data for the earlier years are not available in the format requested by the Deputy.
The Deputy will appreciate that the figures are not yet available in respect of the 2012/13 academic year.
