    Heya everyone heard that the maintenance grand closing date has being moved to January (happy days).Well thats good hopefully I can get them ,but the thing is you know you cannot get the grants if you arent registered in the college,BUT TO BE REGISTERED IN THE COLLEGE you have to pay a college fee.I was just wondering is there any way to pay the fee if your parents wont pay for your college fees and your from a *disadvantaged/poor family* and by the way Im going into a PLC coure and just have done my Leaving Cert I got accepted in the college just the fees are a barrier for me at the moment.

    You don't need to be registered to get the maintenance grant. You just need to accept your course from the CAO or college, and have written confirmation of your acceptance afaik.

    I'm gettting written confirmation from the grant people that I will be receiving a grant so I do not have to pay the registration.

    Phasers is right, you need to show your "you have been approved for a grant of €xxxx" letter and then you dont have to pay the registration.

    You're better off asking your local Job centre partnership it should cover PLC too.
