Dont miss saturdays susi deadline for students

 

Students who leave things to the last minute need to watch out this week - as the deadline for applications to SUSI kicks in at midnight on Saturday.

The Union of Students in Ireland (USI) is urging students and parents to submit their grant funding applications for SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland) in time.

They're also urging them to make sure they have all their forms and documents correctly prepared:

"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 before the Saturday night deadline," says USI President, Kevin Donoghue.

SUSI has estimated over 110,000 applications are expected to be submitted for the 2015/2016 academic year at which 85,000 applications have already 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 and ensure”.
