SURGE IN COLLEGE GRANT APPLICATIONS EXPECTED IN GALWAY

Date Published: 11-Aug-2009

Galway county council say students should send their college grant forms in early as they are expecting ‘substantially more applications’ than last year.

420 grant forms have been received to date, compared to 280 during the same period last year.

If this trend continues, Galway county Council expect to deal with much more than the 1500 applications received with last year.

With Leaving certificate results out tommorow, the council are also anticipating a huge surge of grant applications from now up until the closing date which is the 31st of August.
