The Student Maintenance Grants Board has started crediting students’ accounts with the one-time grant and the annual grant, the Ministry of Education said. 

Almost 4,000 students in post-secondary and Mcast received their grant on Friday while a further 3,500 University students will receive theirs early next week.  This brings the total investment paid out in the past days to over €3.6 million.  

During the last scholastic year spending on stipends increased to over €28 million.
