Study Expenses & Educational Aid

For queries related to study expenses and financial aid for education in Ireland, the students are advised to contact the University/Institution in which they plan to pursue the course. Students can obtain the information regarding scholarships, grants or any kind of financial aid from the respective institute. Also, be sure to visit the International Education Financial Aid (IEFA) website that provides a database of financial aid information for students who want to study in a foreign country. The IEFA website contains a comprehensive list of grants, scholarships, loan programmes and other information that is very helpful for students who are interested in studying abroad.

Under the Higher Education Grants Scheme and the Vocational Education Committees Scholarship Scheme, maintenance grants are provided for undergraduate courses of atleast 2 years' duration in a publicly funded third level institution. A student can even apply for tax-relief for the tuition paid for full time/part time undergraduate or postgraduate courses
