Arklow, Co Wicklow

“I’m on an All-Ireland Scholarship. I haven’t had to worry about money at all. Basically I get an amount of money every month and it has paid me all the way through college. I haven’t had to take out any loans or work. It has been fairly plain sailing for me.”
MARYANN CLIFFORD

“I’m on the Hear [Higher Education Access Route] scheme. It’s really good. They give you a grant if you’re struggling. They give you book tokens to help you pay for your books too . . . They’re really helpful . . . they help you out.”
ÉANNA O’DONNELL

“I’m one of six children, so it’s kind of hard for us. There’s two of us in college now. I often work during the summer months to earn a bit and save it . . . then my parents help me out as well.”
