2,000 Wicklow Students Receive Extra State Funding

Almost 2,000 students from Wicklow will receive the Covid-19 once-off Emergency Grant of €250 this Christmas.

The Minister for Higher Education Simon Harris secured funding in the Budget,  to provide a €50 million support package for third level students, during Covid-19.

If a student is in receipt of a SUSI grant, they will receive a €250 addition to their grant on December 18th.

Those not in receipt of SUSI, can use the €250 to reduce fees, or use it for college facilities.
