    I have a friend who has just finished her undgrad studies. She is no longer being supported by her parents and has been living with her grandparents for the last 12 months. She's 22. She would love to do a postgrad but doesn't have the funds, her parents won't pay and her grandparents are both retired and not in a position to do so. She lives in dublin and would like to do a postgrad in dublin. Does anyone know if she would be eligible for any grant?

    She would have to be assessed on her parents income

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Yes unless she can prove that she is irreconcilably estranged
