Students who participate in the exchange receive a monthly stipend of €500 to help cover food and other living expenses. However, each student should have at least $600 available for initial expenses as the first stipend may not be immediately available upon arrival at CIT. In general, students are encouraged to have some funds available to help supplement their monthly stipend. In addition, Ireland requires that student visa holders have proof of sufficient funds to support themselves during their period of study in Ireland. This means that, once in Ireland, each student must deposit approximately $3,000 into an Irish bank account in order to register with the Irish Immigration Service. It is important to note that these funds do not need to remain in the account once the student has registered. If you are selected to participate in the exchange, will you be able to comply with these requirements?
