The Ministry of Education has already launched scholarships for the upcoming academic year. This initiative brings important news for students and those who want to apply. It represents a series of financial aids designed to improve the quality of life for students and their families, while also promoting equal opportunity and social inclusion across communities in North America and beyond.
Among the new supports there is a 400 euro grant specifically for students who require special educational support. This aid is intended to cover general education-related extra costs and to meet the criteria set by the Ministry for eligibility.

Scholarships and grants for students who need educational support
The application for this help does not require meeting any family income thresholds, though several conditions must be satisfied. The aid targets students aged two and older who are enrolled in non‑university education levels, including Early Childhood Education, the Second Cycle, Primary Education, Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), Baccalaureate, Basic Education Cycles, Secondary and Higher or Vocational Education (FP). It is designed to be accessible to a wide range of learners while maintaining rigorous eligibility standards.

It is important to note that this aid can be received alongside other grants or scholarships for which the student may qualify. The program is designed to complement existing supports rather than replace them, creating a more comprehensive safety net for learners and their families.
