    Trying to fill out a SUSI application for a postgraduate course (level 9).
    I'm on disability allowance since March 2014 and the fee for my course is €5,700 :O

    Does SUSI fund Postgraduate courses , completely or partially ?
    Do I qualify for the SUSI Special Rate ?
    Is there any other form of funding available ?

    Any advice or info would be much appreciated !
    Regards and Thanks in advance

    To the best of my knowledge you can apply for a grant for fees only. The maintenance grant for postgrad was abolished after the financial crash.

    You can get a fee grant of 2000 euro or if you qualify for the special rate upto 6270

    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.
