The national student grant awarding body SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland) are reminding new applicants to apply for their grant before the deadline tomorrow.
The priority closing date is tomorrow, 13th of July.
To date SUSI has received 80,000 applications, and they are expecting it to reach 105,000 once all have applied.
Graham Doyle, Head of Communications & Customer Service with SUSI, has the following message for students: “The processing of grant applications is once again running pretty smoothly… I would urge students to apply before the deadline of July 13th to ensure that their applications receive priority”.
The national awarding authority has already awarded grants to more than 41,000 students for 2017/18, including 10,500 new students.
Mr. Doyle added: “Leaving Certificate students should not wait until they receive their Leaving Certificate results and CAO offers late in August before applying to SUSI.
“They should put down their first choice of course on their SUSI application forms and we will confirm their course details once results and course offers are made, through our link with the CAO.
“Importantly, students should make sure that they have ticked the SUSI option on their CAO forms to allow us to confirm this information. We have already awarded almost 10,500 such students, which is great news.
“Students are encouraged to use their own SUSI ‘online application trackers’, where they can track the progress of their applications and confirm that documentation has been received without having to contact SUSI directly.”
