Grants checks

kaiser soza

Does anyone know if the Dublin City Corporation grant is in yet.

Rozabeez

I'm fairly sure most of the cheques are in, just drop in and have a look at the list.

kaiser soza

Thanks for the reply for some reason I thought an email was sent out one other thing I was wondering does anyone know when the registration money, as in the €900 is paid back.

banquo

Anyone know when the next installment is?

Aw Laaaaaame!

banquo

Anyone know when the next round of grants is in? Roughly.

Rozabeez

Asked last Monday and there's none in yet.

I know the 2nd installment was only in in early January but does anybody have any idea of when the 3rd installment would be in ? I'm hoping very early March but I'm not optimistic.

banquo

I think it's early to middle march, IIR.

Motion carried.

Moneys now!

Brady's needs me :P

minty16

You sure this was a 3rd installment ?

banquo

Can't have been.

yer one in the office told me after easter for 3rd installment. You would swear it was coming out of her pocket personally the way she goes on :mad:

banquo

Need money bad. Me sick.

Would be nice if the local authorities would actually tell you when the next instalment is :mad:

Rozabeez

Smaller colleges get an email. Damn them!

JBoyle4eva

Fees & Grants say we've until the 31st to pick up our second installments, so very doubtful we'll see the third ones until then

banquo

News!

http://fees.nuim.ie/maintenance_cheques.shtml#thirdinstalmentcheques

Timelines for 3rd instalments are becoming available. So far only Kilkenny, with their cheques coming on the 12th of this month.

Rozabeez

*sobs*

I haven't been this broke since I was 14 and jobless!

banquo

I should apply to mod this forum or something. I'd be so good they should pay me.

Rozabeez

I will give you one sandwich and *counts pennies* 4c.

banquo

HA!

I already got the sandwich.

This sandwhich......turkey with coleslaw on wholemeal?:cool:

As for third installment news, yes-er-ooney. Although, I'm actually going to be saving for the summer with it.

banquo

Nope! A sausage and rasher sandwich. Taken from Rosabeez's hungover friend who couldn't eat it the morning of the 4th VP Comms count (had to sit there and be eliminated for the 4th time, was getting kinda embarassing)

I'll be spending mine on:

1. The outrageous rent I pay
2. My bank loan(s)
3. Barleybooley (Paris here we come)

And such things.

Norrdeth

Anybody from the South Dublin C.C. get theirs yet???

Rozabeez

Did someone say after easter? Sure what's the point in that when we've only 3 weeks or so left?

Imagine the hangover you'll have though:D

banquo

It's a bit retarded alright.

The 'after easter' comment is from the lady in fees and grants.

Me: So, around easter?
Her: At the very least.

Rozabeez

No, I want to be able to buy a pair of shoes that don't injure me for work now plz. Not booze! Also, a monthly train ticket would be nice. F*cking County Council.

kaiser soza

Grants office told me to call up DublinCC, also they told me they close next Thursday for the 10 day break.

Rozabeez

Thursday week you mean?

banquo

Money please.

kaiser soza

Thursday week, 9th of April sorry for that.

JBoyle4eva

Gah, I'm doing ok for money right now....but WTF, these cheques are so late coming in, aren't they?

banquo

For me, its over 2,000e for... 5 weeks of college?

Rozabeez

I'm only around 450, but still, what's the point in buying my books that late? Arsehooooles.

eire2009

there holding onto everything these days ..

6 week Wait for the dole
Long wait for tax back
Grants are taking ages

And anything else they can make a few days interest on...:mad:

Rozabeez

Apparently there are some in.

Norrdeth

Got mine yesterday, South Dublin CC

Rozabeez

Ugh. Will check if mine is in today, I'm getting cranky.

minty16

If mines not in tomorrow I think I'm screwed because I am de-registering for the year, and tomorrow is the last day for it.
