Grants

Students enrolling in postgraduate courses may be eligible for financial assistance through the government’s student grant scheme.

Grants cover some/all of the cost of tuition fees and the course must be in Ireland or Northern Ireland.

SUSI awards grants on two levels:

• A flat rate fee contribution of €2,000 if you pass a fee contribution means test (essentially based on your earnings and living situation).
• Cover for all tuition fees and essential field trips (up to €6,270) if you meet the qualifying conditions of the special rate of grant for disadvantaged students.

To qualify, students must meet the requirements for:

• Nationality.
• Immigration status.
• Residency.
