SUSI CALLS ON STUDENTS TO SUBMIT OUTSTANDING DOCUMENTATION TO COMPLETE THEIR GRANT APPLICATIONS

The student grant awarding body, SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland), is calling on students who have not yet submitted outstanding documentation requested by the awarding body to do so as soon as possible.

 

SUSI has received 103,000 applications for the 2014/2015 academic year and expects to award 73,000 grants. Graham Doyle, Head of Communications & Customer Service with SUSI, commented that “the processing of student grants this year has gone extremely well. We have awarded 68,000 students, of an expected 73,000, so far and we are working on a current basis now, meaning that we are dealing with documentation as it arrives. We have 10,000 applications left to finalise and we are waiting for students to submit their documentation in more than 8,000 of these cases. So really the message to students is to submit this documentation as soon as possible so that their applications can be completed.”
