Grants for postgraduate courses were axed during the recession, but have been restored in recent years
I work in media and am planning to start a postgraduate course next September to expand my skills into other areas. I hadn’t realised how hugely expensive they are, ranging from anywhere between €7,000 and €20,000. It will be a big stretch for me. Is there any grant support is available for postgraduate students?
Back to postgrads: broadly, three are types of funding available to eligible postgraduate students for the next academic year. A second type of grant is the “postgraduate fee contribution and maintenance grant”. This involves a contribution grant of up to €4,000, plus a maintenance grant. To be eligible, total household income must be under €50,840 for households with less than four dependent children.
