I started a third level course in 2007 (free fess), repeated in 08-09 and now have been offered a place on a difference course in 10-11.

What is the difference in eligibility for 50% fees and EU fees?

Anyone?

At all?

I contacted the Fees office and she told me that you need to be out of uni for 5 years before you're elligible, but that seems like bollocks to me because that would pretty much make you a mature student. Also, on the NUI site it gives the requirements for each fee and all it says for 50% Fees is "must be a resident of the EU"

p28559

to be eligible for the full grant..reg fee, maintenance, top up etc you have to be resident in ireland for 3 of the last 5 years and have permission to be here.

if your an eu citizen you can apply under the grant scheme but are automatically exclude from some of the above..cant remember which ones...:rolleyes:

if your offer of a grant says you get 50% of fees i assume you get for example half the reg fee or half tutition

Why did the college tell me I had to be out of uni for 5 years then? I imagine it's too late to apply for a grant now :mad::mad:

no, it's not too late to apply for a grant, Dublin councils extended the deadline and a lot of other councils still accept applications

p28559

true enough the deadline is extended.....why would you take the word of the people in the college.....the only people anyone should be listening to is the awarding council in their area...
