Student Contribution
The Student Contribution Charge for the academic year 2022/2023 is €3,000. The Student Contribution Charge is an annual charge directed by the Higher Education Authority. All third level undergraduate students are liable to pay this fee, unless they qualify for a SUSI grant.
Tuition Fees
Generally, first time undergraduate students pursuing a full time programme will qualify for free tuition fee funding, however, please refer to http://www.studentfinance.ie for full details of the “Free Fees Initiative” ( F.F.I ) scheme. A student who qualifies for the F.F.I will be exempt from paying tuition fees to SETU Waterford. Those students who do not qualify for F.F.I. will be liable to pay all tuition fees depending on the programme they choose to complete.
Exemptions
Full time students should be aware that there will be no reduction in fee charges, in cases where exemptions of modules are granted to students. Therefore any student who receives exemptions from the school will still be liable for full Student Contribution (and Tuition where applicable).
Grants
All new grant applications for 2022/2023 must be made online to SUSI (Student Universal Support Ireland) through http://www.susi.ie or phone 0761 087874. If approved, SUSI will pay the Student Contribution on behalf of the student directly to SETU Waterford.
For students who have paid this fee in the interim, this will be refunded by the grants office. For further information on Grants please log onto: http://www.susi.ie
