Student Universal Support Ireland [SUSI], the grant awarding authority, opened for grant applications for the 2018/19 academic year, last April.

SUSI has advised that it has no record of an application from the student in question.

SUSI is still accepting applications for the current academic year. The student in question should submit an application as soon as possible to SUSI to have his eligibility for grant support assessed.
