SUSI deadline is fast approaching

Fianna Fáil TD for North Tipperary and Northwest Kilkenny, Deputy Ryan O'Meara, is reminding students and families across the region that the deadline for SUSI grant applications is fast approaching.

Online applications for the 2025/2026 academic year must be submitted by Thursday, November 6.

Deputy O'Meara said: “SUSI makes a real difference for students in Tipperary and across Ireland and I want to ensure that no one misses out on the support they’re entitled to.”

He highlighted that more students than ever now qualify for SUSI and he encouraged families to check their eligibility.

“Even if you’re unsure whether you qualify, it’s absolutely worth checking.

“The income thresholds have changed and many more households are now eligible for support.”

For the 2025/2026 academic year, students from households with a reckonable income below €115,000 may be entitled to assistance.

Deputy O'Meara concluded: “Fianna Fáil is the party of education. Together with my colleague, the Minister for Further and Higher Education, James Lawless, I will do everything I can to help ease the financial pressure on families and students.

“Going to college or university is a proud moment for any family and we need to ensure that every student and every household receives the support they need.”

Students who miss the November 6th deadline may still request a late application if their circumstances have changed or they face extenuating circumstances.
