Written Answers. - Student Support Schemes.
Under the terms of the third level student support schemes, a candidate's reckonable income for the purposes of the award of a grant is the candidate's gross income from all sources and that of her/his parents or guardians, where applicable.
I understand from Sligo Vocational Education Committee, the relevant body in this instance, that the reckonable income in this case exceeds the income limit for the payment of a maintenance grant under the relevant scheme.
