grant information

Shazzy

does anyone know when do people hear if they have got the vec grant or not!!!!

Icky Thump

well they told me it could take about 5 or 6 weeks

Shazzy

wen did u put in ur one ?
i put in mine the start of the month!!!

Icky Thump

well mine is just gone in now. they said they look at the grants around the middle of august so im guessing since yours is in early it will be one of the first to be looked at. im sure it will be within the first two weeks of September when you find out. do you think youll get it??

if your elligible then i wouldnt worry. if its the fees your worried about just ring up admissions and tell them your waiting for the grant. theyll be ok with it. they give alot of ley way for students when it comes to reg fees

Shazzy

ah rite ok thank you. i should be able to get it this year i cudnt get it last year but they sed dat i should be able to get it this year because my course is now part of the college

i ave a letter sent to the college to say dat i have applied for the grant and could they please sed me back a letter to say that i am temperarly reg in the college until the grant comes through cause the grant office wants a letter to say that i am reg in the college

Icky Thump

yea i have to get a letter for the BTEA saying that im reg in college. i rang WIT admissions and they said i cant get that letter until i actually register on the 2nd/3rd. i dont know it could be different for you because you where there last year(im assuming). but just warning ya not to expect the letter until the 2nd

Shazzy

a women in the college told me this is a backdoor to get the letter out of the college if u get a letter from the btea sayin dat u ave applied for it. and give it to the college and they can give u a letter to say that u are temperarly reg in the college it might work u'll never know give the college a ring or go down and ask about it in the college sure give it a go ull never know til u try

the reg day you pay the 15 euro for wit card , they automatically temorarilly register you till the grant clears . even if you find out you cant get the grant you have all year to pay, this is fact ive attended wit on and off for 9 years im an expert.

how long does the BTEA take to go through when you give them the letter though??

I went in today to confirm my registration, and I brought the letter stating my application is being processed. Reception desk accepted that was proof I have applied, and check the records for proof that I recieved a grant for 1st Year before. At the moment I'm temporarily registered, so I just bring in the confirmation letter once I get it.
Which better be frickin soon.

i just got my letter today to say dat i got the grant it was sent out on the 25th so u should get it really soon

I got a letter today with a number, and confirming they have received my application? How long were you waiting?

The first installment usually doesn't come in until October sometime. It depends on the county too. Some are much slower than others. I've also heard of students getting a loan from the banks to cover the registration with the promise of a grant to pay it. If you speak with AIB on campus or whichever bank you deal with I'm sure they have packages.

I handed my grant application in on 10 july and was told that my application will be looked at this week, lets just hope for the best eh
