Student Assistance Fund
The
Curve helps students from low income families and those who traditionally have not progressed to third level study
or those from areas of high unemployment to access higher education.
This help includes financial aid such as the Student Assistance Fund. This limited fund
provides financial support to students experiencing short or long-term financial difficulties while attending higher
education.
The Student Assistance Fund is managed by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) on behalf of the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. The Student Assistance Fund in ATU Donegal is overseen by the SAF committee comprising the Access Officer, the Chaplain, the SU Welfare Officer and the SAF Administrator . ;

the higher education sector in accessing ICT devices.
