National College of Ireland welcomes the announcement by Minister Simon Harris, DFHERIS, of additional once-off funding to address the increase in the cost of living.

This funding will be provided through the Student Assistance Fund (SAF), which assists qualifying students with books and class materials, rent, childcare and transport, among other things.

As soon as eligibility is clear, we will issue an update to students. NCI students can find out more information about SAF here.
