Ireland 2023/24 - grants and loans
Grants are need-based: full-time home students who meet the conditions of the Student Grant Scheme can receive one, and there is no age limit. Students in certain groups, for example those facing socio-economic barriers, can also access bursaries.

According to Eurydice data, in 2023/24 need-based grants ranged from EUR 612 to EUR 7,586 a year, most commonly EUR 4,292. Merit-based and universal grants are not part of the system.
There are no publicly subsidised student loans.
