Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 April 2015
122. Deputy Martin Heydon asked the Minister for Education and Skills the grant assistance for further education that is available in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare who wants to complete a course in animation/game design; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [16929/15]
View answerUnder the terms of the student grant scheme, grant assistance is awarded to students who meet the prescribed conditions of funding, including those relating to nationality, residency, previous academic attainment and means.
The Deputy will appreciate that, in the absence of all of the relevant details that would be contained in an individual's application form and supporting documentation, it is not possible to say whether or not a particular student would qualify for a grant.
The eligibility of the individual to which the Deputy refers is a matter for SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland) to determine; upon receipt of the relevant application form and supporting documentation.
The online application process for 2015/16 is now open.
