Student Assistance

Hi , just wondering is anyone else in the same boat as myself. I applied for the SUSI postgraduate grant and found out last month that I was only getting the 2000 contribution fee. I appealed the decision and was informed today that this has been rejected. I still owe 3275 euro to my college, who have informed me this needs to be paid immediately.

I have tryed to take out a loan but was rejected as my dad is currently unemployed and cannot act as guarantor. This to me is just stupidity, I have a part time job at the weekend and would be able to make weekly repayments myself.

Anyway now I am in a situation where I have to pay my fees but have no money to do so I just feel awful, I will be finished college in a month and just find myself feeling so deflated, if I can't pay my fees I won't be graduating.

Does anyone have any ideas of where I could get a loan to help fund my fees.... I have no credit union account so am unable to ask them , I just don't know what I am going to do. Any suggestions would be welcome !!

The only thing I can think of is the student assistance fund but I am not sure if it covers fees

Also in some emergency cases the St Vincent de Paul can help
