Grants and Fees FAQs - Midwest

How much are my fees?

Fees payable for each academic year are visible via the student portal.
Fees are broken down in to two categories – Student Contribution Fee and Tuition Fee.
Most Undergraduate students qualify for free Tuition fees under the HEA Free Fees Initiative (provided the student does not already hold a third level qualification and is not completing the same year of study for a second time). Further information on the Free Fees Initiative may be found here.

How do I apply for a Grant?

The Grants & Fees office do not award any grants. SUSI are the awarding grants body in Ireland.
If you are an incoming student OR a continuing student, you can make a grant application directly via SUSI.
Please Note: The College are unable to confirm your registration with SUSI and you will not receive any maintenance payment awarded, until you have completed online registration.

I am awaiting a SUSI grant decision – Can I still register?

You will be “Temporary Registered” without paying fees while awaiting a decision from SUSI.
Materials / Health & Safety fees are payable upon registration. These costs are not covered by SUSI.
You will not be a fully registered student until your fees are paid in full.
This will allow you until 30 September to receive a decision on your grant application. If you have not been awarded a grant by this date, you will be required to either pay 50% of your fees or set up an agreed, signed instalment plan with the Grants & Fees Office. Any surplus monies paid will be refunded once the SUSI Grant is awarded. A SUSI instalment plan may be completed here.
Please Note: The College are unable to confirm your registration with SUSI until you have completed online registration.

I have been approved for a Maintenance Grant, how will it be paid?

Approximately 2 weeks after a student completes online registration via the portal, SUSI pays maintenance on a monthly basis (nine instalments) by electronic fund transfer from SUSI straight into their nominated bank account. Continued payment will be contingent on verification of your attendance at regular intervals throughout the year.
The Student Contribution/Tuition element of the fee grant will be paid directly to TUS on your behalf.
Additional information on maintenance payments can be found on the SUSI webpage. All queries related to SUSI maintenance awards should be queried with SUSI directly.

What happens if I have already paid my fees and I am subsequently awarded a Grant which results in refund owed?

Please ensure that your bank details are up to date on your Student Portal.
Instructions on how to add or update your bank details are available here. It is important to follow instructions carefully to ensure refund is processed as soon as possible.
Refunds are processed on a monthly basis (end of month) from October – April.
