The Student Assistance Fund is partly
supported by the Irish Government
and the European Social Fund as part
of the ESF Programme for
Employability, Inclusion and Learning
2014-2020. Administered by the
Access Service, the fund provides
limited support for full-time registered
LIT students who are in on-going
financial difficulties or who are
disadvantaged and require additional
financial support to enable them in so
far as is possible to participate fully in
their studies. Students who apply to
the fund are assessed on an individual
and confidential basis and must meet
the application eligibility criteria to
apply. Students will be required to
produce financial information to
support their application. The areas
which are considered for funding
include rent, food, travel or childcare.
Funding is not available under this
fund for the cost of registration or
tuition fees.
Application forms are available at the
beginning of each academic year. For
further details regarding the fund and
to apply online please visit
www.lit.ie/financialassistance.
