Under the terms of my Department's free fees initiative, the Exchequer meets the tuition fees of eligible students who are attending approved full-time undergraduate courses, which must generally be of at least two years duration at approved colleges.
Eligibility under the initiative is subject to a number of conditions. For example, students who are repeating a year level are generally not eligible for funding.
