    hello...just wondering if anyone can shed some light on student finances. my circumstances are as follows.
    I am currently coming to the end of a FETAC level 5 PLC course and have applied for 3rd level course level 7 social studies. I am a single parent of 2 children and got let go from my full time job 12 months ago. I have worked since i was 15, full time since i was 18. so when i became unemployed i signed up for one parent family payment and also signed on to claim my stamps.
    i am currently receiving 256euro in one parent family payment..and 100euro weekly from my stamps (which was switched to back to education in september when i started my course) this payment will cease in may when i do my exams, so im down that money every week for the summer (i been putting some money aside every week as I knew this payment would cease,and part-time jobs would be scarce for the summer months)
    anyway my questions are...what financial help will I receive when i return to college next year, i am going to apply for the maintence grant but will i receive my back to education allowence again in september or whats the story there???? will i get any financial assistance for childcare
    just wondering if anyone has been in this situation before,and could shed some light on my options. thanking you for your replies in advance!
