Government Laptop Scheme
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 has allocated funding to support disadvantaged students in the higher education sector in accessing ICT devices.
Under this scheme, undergraduate or postgraduate students may be eligible to receive a laptop, on long-term loan, in order to assist with online learning.
The ICT Government Laptop scheme is available to registered students who would like to apply to borrow a laptop for their studies and who meet the eligibility criteria. This scheme is open to new and continuing students.
ELIGIBILITY:
For eligibility including terms and conditions, please go to CANVAS (elearning portal.)
In all cases, MTU Kerry Campus must be satisfied that a student who receives a device under this grant has demonstrated a verifiable need for such a device e.g. they are from one of the identified target groups and they or their family do not have the means to purchase such a device themselves.
International, non-EU fee-paying students would not be considered eligible for support under this Grant.
