Equal Access to Education for Asylum Seekers in Ireland!

STAR (Student Action for Refugees) is a network of student groups working to improve the lives of refugees in Ireland, and the UK. Through the Equal Access Campaign, the STAR Society at the Dublin Institute of Technology, wish to ensure that people in Ireland seeking refugee protection have equal access to higher education and can join us at university as equals.

Since asylum seekers do not have the nationality requirements to qualify for the Free Fees scheme at DIT, they must pay the international fees should they wish to pursue an undergraduate degree programme. For example, in order to pursue a Bachelor of Business Studies (Hons), they would need to pay 11,500 Euro per year.

The current European refugee crisis is the largest humanitarian disaster in generations. We need everyone to play their part in helping people who have fled war and persecution to find safety and rebuild their shattered lives.

We are calling on the Dublin Institute of Technology to:

-Classify all those seeking asylum as home students for fee purposes
-Offer at least 10 scholarships that cover study and maintenance costs for people who have come to Ireland seeking refugee protection
-Publicize their Equal Access policies so that potential students can easily apply
