    Just wondering whether a student who would of qualified for a post graduate grant prior to the change in legislation is still entitled to free fees?

    That appears to be the answer, i.e it is possible to receive BTEA and full fees for a h dip, provided previous years earnings are below €22,703 per household, Thanks

    Yes - it seems so - unless there is some rule that states otherwise.

    Of course the 22,703 will reduce by 3% in 2013 as per the budget

    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.

    It depends

    Do you live at home? Have you always lived at home?

    It's hard to say.
    I think looking at it that you might have to apply based on your parents income

    There are no maintenance grants for postgraduate students

    Depending on income you might get a fee grant of 2000 or 6270 if your income is very low

    Hi, I'm looking at studying a masters in finance in either switzerland or the netherlands as the fees are far cheaper than the equivalent qualification in Ireland. Am I elegible to receive the grant towards a masters fee if I am studying abroad.?

    No.

    The grant is only available for postgrad courses in Ireland or Northern Ireland

    my understanding of this is that you have to be seen as progressing through the levels and if they are both level 8 you will prob not be entitled. your best chance is ask the college as SUSI are unsure of everything.
