I was just wondering if anyone would know of any type of college travel grant for people who live in rural areas? Where I live is 56km from the college I go to with limited public transport and I have to rely on my parents to drop & collect me from the bus stop. It costs me €60 a week on bus fares and if no one is home to collect me/drop me to the bus I have to pay €12 each way to get a taxi.

I havent applied for Susi before because I worked and didnt think Id be eligible, but might be this year.

Just curious to see what other people who don't live in an area with a good transport route do. I'd prefer not to sponge from my parents this year if possible.
