In accordance with the provisions of the Local Authorities (Higher Education Grants) Acts, 1968 to 2006, Wicklow County Council will operate a Higher Education Grants Scheme in 2009 for the award of grants to enable persons to attend at Institutions of Higher Education in Ireland to pursue full time degree or postgraduate courses approved for this purpose by the Minister for Education and Science. Maintenance grants will also be available for approved undergraduate courses in the U.K. and Europe.
