Child-minding Subsidy
The Limerick Institute of Technology Child-minding Subsidy administered by the Access Service provides limited support for whole-time LIT students who are in financial difficulty with childcare costs and therefore require additional financial support to enable them in so far as is possible to participate fully in their studies while at the Institute.
Students who apply to the fund are assessed on an individual and confidential basis. Students will be required to produce financial information to support their application for assistance. Funding is approved by the Student Funding Advisory Committee.
