Renewing your Grant Application

You must renew your application for each year of your course. For example, if you held a grant from SUSI in 2023/24 and are continuing your studies on the same course in the 2024/25 academic year, SUSI will contact you by email to advise you to renew your grant application.

However, if one of the below reasons applies to you, then you will need to make a new application:

• you have completed a previous course and are applying for a one year add-on course for the current academic year 2024/25. For example, you have completed a three year Level 7 course and are now applying for a one year add-on level 8 course.
• you have decided to change your course, your college or are starting a new course.
• you have previously deferred a year of your course and are now returning to continue your studies on the same course.
