The central grant awarding authority Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI), a business unit of the City of Dublin ETB, administer the Student Grant Scheme on behalf of my Department.

My officials have advised me that the awarding authority has been unable to identify the student in question based on the information provided.

Enquiries regarding the status of an application on behalf of an individual applicant for a student grant may be made directly to SUSI.

Enquiries may be emailed directly to SUSI at [e-mail]. Staff in SUSI are responding to email queries within a matter of days.
