Asylum seekers without Leaving Cert now eligible for third-level grant

Young asylum seekers no longer have to spend three years in the Irish school system in order to qualify for educational support at third level, the Government will announce.

Students who have applied for refugee status, subsidiary protection or leave to remain, and have been in the system for at least three years, can apply for the support. Mr Harris said the new scheme would be put on a “more long-term footing” and that he hoped relaxing the criteria would result in more people accessing third-level education.
