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.
