The Union of Students in Ireland (USI) is urging students and parents to submit their grant funding applications for the student grant awarding body, SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland) before the deadline of midnight on Saturday, August 1 to ensure the opportunity to receive a student grant for their studies.
President of the Union of Students Ireland (USI) Kevin Donoghue said that “it is crucial that students apply for the SUSI grant but more importantly that they submit scanned copies of all the required supporting documentation required by SUSI, and any documents they feel are important for their case, before the deadline on Saturday night”
SUSI has estimated that in excess of 110,000 applications are expected to be submitted for the 2015/2016 academic year. To date, 85,000 applications have been received. Mr Donoghue stated, “There is still time to get the grant application to SUSI. Students and parents should visit www.susi.ie for more information on grant eligibility”.
