Student contribution

Student contribution - what is it?

The student contribution charge (SCC) of €2,500 (2013/14) covers the cost of the following services:

• Student service's costs including careers,sports and clubs & socities
• Space costs associated with student facilities 
• Costs relating to registration, fees, admission and examinations

Do I have to pay it?

This fee must be paid by students, even if they are entitled to free tuition fees. However, if you are in receipt of a SUSI grant we will invoice SUSI on your behalf for this SCC.  SUSI may award you a 100% SCC grant and this will cover the full €2,500 in 2013/14.  If they only award you a 50% SCC grant you will be liable for the remaining 50%.
