Information for uni freshers

KYS Youth Information Centre in Naas will host an information evening for young people starting university, on Wednesday 23 August.

The event will be located at the Kildare Youth Services premises in the Canal Stores, Naas, and begins at 8pm.

Speakers from the Student Grants Section of Kildare County Council will advise parents and students with regard to applying for student grants.

Staff from the Youth Information Centre will also be on hand to answer any general queries that young people may have concerning the transition to college life.

Moving away from home and starting third level education can be a challenging time for young people and the aim of the evening is to provide support to students and their families at this time.

There will be an opportunity for one to one advice at the end of the meeting.
