    How to apply

    Contact your local second- or third-level school or college to get details of the courses available. They will also advise you on how to get a place on the course of your choice.

    When you are accepted on a course, you should notify the Department of Social Protection by filling in the Back to Education Allowance application form (pdf), which is also available from your social welfare local office.

    You must get written confirmation that you are registered as a full-time day student from the college registrar or admission officer. You will not get payment of BTEA until you give this confirmation letter to the Department of Social Protection.

    You must apply for BTEA before starting an approved course. A late application will be accepted if there is a good reason for it being late and it is received by the relevant section in the Department within 30 days of the course starting.

    Send your application to the section in the Department of Social Protection that deals with your payments – see ‘Where to apply’ below.

    BTEA - apply as soon as possible

    Grant deadline - 1st August

    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.

    August 1st?? Is that right across the board or just in certain counties? I haven't been able to find more information online.

    That is for grants with SUSI

    It's the BTE1 Form isn't ? Do you get confirmation from the social welfare that you've been accepted onto the btea scheme?
