Figures from Susi, published in today's Irish Times, show that 575 students missed out in their efforts to secure a college grant, though money was paid to nearly 1,200 students.
The success rate here is slightly higher than the national average.
Despite this, because hundreds of students here don’t apply for the grant, the number of third level entrants who receive the support is one of the lowest in the country at 57%.
