Third-Party Sponsored Students including Employer/Skillnet/Springboard
Where a third party/sponsor will be paying a student’s fee, a sponsor detail form must be completed and submitted to the Registrations, Fees and Grants Offices. This form can be requested from the relevant Fees Office by emailing
gspdfees.galwaymayo@atu.ie (Online, Flexible and Professional Development)
On receipt of this form, the Fees Office will issue an invoice to the Sponsor/Third Party which must be paid within 30 days of its issuing. Payment terms may differ depending on agreements.
The student remains liable for their fees, and in the event a sponsor defaults on a payment, restrictions will be applied to the student’s account.
Springboard Funded Students
- If you are completing a NFQ Level 6 programme, it is fully funded by the HEA, and you are not required to make any payment towards your tuition fees.
- If you are completing a NFQ Level 7 – 9 programme it is 90% funded by the HEA. If you are employed, you will be required to pay the remaining 10% of your tuition fees which will be applied to your student account. If you are unemployed, no payment will be required.
