Applicants must live in County Kildare and provide supporting documents, including proof of income or disability-related evidence where relevant, an academic reference, a second referee, statements outlining their course choice and barriers, exam results, and bank or credit union details. Successful applicants will also need to show proof of registration before payment is issued.
