As part of Budget 2021, the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science has introduced a Covid-19 Once Off Emergency Grant of €250 for further and higher education students. This is in recognition of the significant upheaval they have experienced due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
All full-time EU undergraduate and postgraduate students registered for the 2020/21 academic year are eligible for the payment.
If you are eligible, there is no requirement for you to apply for the payment. Under the plans communicated by Government on 19 Nov 2020:
- Students who avail of Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) supports will receive a €250 top-up in their grant before Christmas
- Students who are not in receipt of SUSI supports will receive a €250 credit from UCD
We are awaiting further clarification from the Government around timelines and processes, but we are aiming to give eligible students this credit as soon as possible.
