    Hi guys, my girlfriends brother is after getting accepted to Griffith College in Limerick and is only after realising it's a private college.
    Since it's private SUSI do not offer a grant.
    Is there any kind of assistance at all for someone going to a private college?

    Thanks.

    The only financial assistance is tax back on fees - but whoever is paying the fees needs to be paying income tax to claim this

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Thanks for the help. I guess there's not much that can be done about it.
