Financial Support SAF TU Dublin

Applications for the General Student Assistance Fund (SAF) are currently open for the Academic Year 2026/27

Students are required to log in to the Student Self Service (SSB) portal to apply for financial aid (SAF). This is the same platform used to register for your programme, add modules and check exam results.

Student Assistance Fund (SAF)

The Student Assistance Fund (SAF) provides financial support to students who are experiencing short or long-term financial difficulties while attending higher education. The Higher Education Authority (HEA) manages it on behalf of the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (DFHERIS).

The fund is open to full-time and part-time students aimed at tackling educational disadvantage by providing financial support to those who may require additional financial support to enable them to fully benefit from their higher education. Students will be required to produce financial information to support their application for assistance.

Please Note: The Student Assistance Fund (SAF) cannot be used for university fees purposes. You must be registered in order to apply for SAF.

As there are limited funds available, TU Dublin will target the available resources at those students most in need.
