Student Grant Funding
The means-tested Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) online application system was introduced in 2012 and replaces City/County Council Higher Education Grant applications for postgraduate funding support for new entrants into postgraduate education. In recent times the application process has opened in May each year. Further details about this process, eligibility guidelines, and the link to the online application can be found at: www.susi.ie

Back to Education Allowance (BTEA)
The Back to Education Allowance (BTEA) is a scheme administered by the Department of Social Protection. It allows people in receipt of certain social welfare payments to retain those payments whilst participating in approved full-time courses in further and higher education – in recent years only Higher Diploma level 8 programmes or the Professional Masters in Education programme have been eligible for the BTEA. Students are advised to check with their local social welfare office for the most up-to-date information on this.
