Mother Of Student Says Lack Of Funding For PLC Students is ''Discriminatory''

Mother Of Student Says Lack Of Funding For PLC Students is ''Discriminatory'' Margaret got in touch with the show about her daughter who is currently doing a PLC course. She cannot avail of the support that other third level students can for financial help with a laptop. Minister for Further and Higher Education Simon Harris has announced a once-off Covid-19 payment scheme for third-level students.  Funding worth €50m, which was announced as part of Budget 2021, will offer financial assistance to all EU full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students in recognition of the upheaval they have experienced due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  A spokesperson for Mr Harris said the scheme will ensure students who avail of the SUSI grant will receive a €250 top-up in their grant before Christmas.  Students who do not avail of the grant can reduce by €250 any outstanding contribution fee payment or receive a €250 credit note for their institution.  Listen and subscribe to Lunchtime Live on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.      Download, listen and subscribe on the Newstalk App.     You can also listen to Newstalk live on newstalk.com or on Alexa, by adding the Newstalk skill and asking: 'Alexa, play Newstalk'.
