If you have not already done so, you should use our Eligibility Reckoner to give you an idea if you meet the criteria to receive Student Grant funding.
(The Eligibility Reckoner will give an indication only and does not guarantee your eligibility for a grant).
You must be ordinarily resident in Ireland or the EU for 3 of the last 5 years. If you were resident outside the State for this period but were resident in the EU, EEA or Switzerland you are deemed to be a tuition student which would normally make you eligible for the course fee portion of a grant. However, as you are applying for a PLC course of study (and SUSI does not supply funding for course fees on PLC courses, i.e. funding on PLC courses is provided for maintenance only) you will not qualify for any funding from SUSI.
