Amharc ar fhreagraOfficials in my Department have been informed by Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) that there is currently no backlog in the processing of student grants, all priority applications have been processed and SUSI is meeting its targets for the processing of completed grant applications currently on hand.
SUSI is calling on those students who have not yet submitted the documentation or additional documents requested to support their application to do so as soon as possible to ensure an early decision on their grant application.
