SUSI Grant Application System is open

SUSI, the national grant awarding authority, has opened its online application system for academic year 2020-'21.
As SUSI expects to receive a high number of applications over the coming months, students are advised to apply online at www.susi.ie as soon as possible. Students do not need to have their Leaving Cert results, or to have accepted a course in order to apply. They can simply supply the details of the course they hope to study and update their course choice online at a later date.
Before making an application, students are encouraged to use SUSI’s online eligibility reckoner to give them an indication of their eligibility for student grant funding.
New applicants must create an online SUSI account before completing and submitting the application. The priority processing date for new applications is July 9th. New applicants who submit their applications on or before this date will receive priority assessment. Last year, SUSI received 80% of new applications before the priority processing date.
Students who are progressing to the next year of their course are reminded that they must renew their grant annually. Renewal students received an email from SUSI in recent weeks informing them of the renewal process. The priority processing date for renewal applications is June 11th, 2020 and renewal applicants who submit their applications on or before this date will receive priority assessment.
Eleanor Murphy, Communications and Customer Services Manager, SUSI advised: “I encourage all students to visit our website www.susi.ie and complete our quick and easy eligibility reckoner before making an application. This is a good indication of a student’s eligibility for funding.”
SUSI is committed to processing applications efficiently and to support this, we ask students to submit their application online as early as possible. Students do not need their Leaving Cert results, or to have accepted a course to apply. They can update this at a later date.”
SUSI received almost 96,000 applications in academic year 2019-'20 with over 76,000 students awarded funding.
For more information on making an application, students can check out www.susi.ie. They can also contact SUSI’s dedicated Support Desk by phone or email or connect with SUSI on Twitter or Facebook.
