I understand that the awarding authority in this case, Waterford County Council, was awaiting outstanding documentation in order to process the application from the student referred to by the Deputy. This documentation has just recently been received and a decision will issue to the student shortly.

Patrick O'Donovan

Ceist:

75 Deputy Patrick O’Donovan asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will advise the family income thresholds for the awarding of a third level grant in respect of the school term starting in September 2012; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7275/12]

As a matter of routine, my Department reviews the student grant scheme each year to prepare policy proposals and to include changes announced under the relevant Budget. A decision on the reckonable income limits under the Student Grant Scheme for 2012/13 academic year will be taken in the context of this review and the Scheme will be published in due course with this detail.
