    I've just been reading about the HEAR scheme http://www.hea.ie/en/HEAR on the Leaving Certs board and it sounds really interesting.

    I never heard of this before - does anyone know if Mature Students are applicable to apply for this also?

    Who should make a HEAR application?

    HEAR is for school leavers from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. If you can answer yes to one or more of the following questions, you should make a HEAR application:

    1. Do you have a Medical Card/GP Visit Card?

    2. Do you parents'/guardians' receive a means-tested social welfare payments?

    3. Based on your parents'/guardians' income do you expect to be eligible for the Higher Education Grant from your Local Authority or VEC?

    4. Do you attend a secondary school that is part of the DEIS initiative run by the Department of Education and Science?

    5. Are you a member of the traveller community?
