Amharc ar fhreagraThe processing of student grants is carried out by local grant awarding authorities — VECs and local authorities.
In this case, the students in question should contact County Mayo VEC to ascertain the position with their applications. As the processing of grant applications is carried out by local grant awarding authorities, the Deputy will appreciate that it would not be possible for me to say if a student would qualify for a grant or what level of grant they might be entitled to.
