Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) Maintenance Grants

Students attending full-time approved Courses in Crumlin College for the 2005/2006 academic session are eligible to apply for a maintenance grant.

The grant is available to students who live in Dublin, in addition to students who live outside Dublin. This grant does not cover the cost of registration or examination fees. It is a maintenance grant paid each month directly into the students' bank account.

Students apply for the PLC Maintenance Grant to their local Vocational Education Committee. Students living in Dublin postal districts 1 - 13 and postal district 17 should contact City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee (CDVEC), Town Hall, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 for an application pack.
Information and application packs will be available from the end of July 2005.
It is not necessary for students to know the exact Course they will be attending in September in order to apply for a PLC Maintenance Grant.

The initial decision regarding the grant is based solely on income. The PLC Maintenance Grant is a means tested grant. This involves an assessment of the earnings in the family (parents and candidate).

Students over 23 years of age, who are living outside the family home will be assessed on their income and that of their spouse (if applicable). For further information, please contact your local Vocational Education Committee.
