BTEA for degree?

the deftone

Hey guys, I was hoping you could clear up a few things for me about BTEA if you can.

Does BTEA cover all college fees?

Can i stay on BTEA for the duration of my course? (4 years)?

Looking to study nursing but no way of paying fees. Thanks for any info guys!

BTEA is roughly the dole every week and up to 500 euro to cover education costs. I think you can stay on it for your full time in college as an undergraduate.

They don't pay your full fees for you I don't think.

BTEA will no longer have a book allowance which is currently €300 as announced in last weeks budget. If you qualify for BTEA then you get it for the duration of your course. BTEA does not cover fees you have to apply to SUSI for fees.
