Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will appreciate that the number of awards for the 2012/13 academic year is not yet available and will not be supplied to my Department by the grant awarding authorities until later in the academic year. However, I wish to advise that some 67,650 third level students qualified for a student grant in the 2011/12 academic year.
