    If I was earning too much to get a grant to go to college and during my first year in college I earned nothing would I then qualify for a grant for my second year and so on?

    Thanks

    Yeah, you can send in a new application every year. I'm usually €50-€100 over the limit but I apply every year because with it being such a small amount, if my parents got less overtime or something I could end up being eligible. It's always worth sending in an application to check. It'll be based on your income from last year (2011) so make sure to make a note that you no longer have any income.

    Thanks, thats great. Im thinking of working for a year or two before I start but if it resulted in me losing the grant it would be at least a 20k loss if it was for the duration of the course

    If you're the only one working and it's only based on your own income, you'd probably still get some form of grant in first year too. Even if it was just your fees paid for. You'd have to be earning a bit over 50,000 to be entitled to nothing at all.
