    Completed applications should reach the Agency either within one calendar month from the commencement date of your programme or within one calendar month from the date of course accreditation, whichever is the later.

*For operational reasons, individual institutions may set an earlier (or later) deadline for collection applications from their students. Applicants are required to take note of the announcement made by individual institutions.

If you attend an accredited programme that commences between April 2008 and March 2009, except for those students who take distance-learning programmes or on-line programmes, you should apply for financial assistance under the 2007/08 academic year. The deadline for application is stipulated above and in any case should be not later than 31 March 2009.

If you will undergo training / placement / internship with or without pay in the 2008/09 academic year (including the summer months of year 2008), you must complete Part G of the FASP application form before submission.

Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted save in exceptional circumstances. Late applications must be supported by institutions and applicants must give detailed justifications for their late applications in writing for the Agency's consideration.
