As part of the package of COVID supports for higher and further education institutions, the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science allocated funding to support disadvantaged students in the higher education sector in accessing ICT devices.
Under this scheme undergradute or postgraduate students may be eligible to receive a laptop, on long-term loan, in order to assist with online learning. The scheme is currently closed for applications.
