Minister for Education and Science (Mr. N. Dempsey)

My Department reviews the student support maintenance grant schemes annually, having regard to eligibility-income limits and maintenance grant rates and to take account of policy decisions. This review is close to completion and the 2004-05 schemes will be published in the near future and issued to the awarding authorities. The full schemes, including details of the income limits and maintenance levels, will be available on my Department's website, www.education.ie.
