An Irish postgraduate student has shared her frustrations with the SUSI system following what she claims was poor communication on her entitlement to a grant for her education.
Laura McCarthy, who is studying for a Master’s in Women’s Studies, was assured that she would be entitled to a full grant from Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI) for the upcoming academic year in a letter sent out in July 2021.
However, she realised a month into her course that the fees remained unpaid on her student record.
