Students with family income below €30,000: €300 annual scholarship, application deadline 30 September

Royal Decree 179/2026 establishes new income thresholds and scholarship amounts for the 2026-2027 academic year. Students with a family income below €30,000 will receive an annual scholarship of €300 (Art. 2). This change modifies the personalised scholarship scheme established by Royal Decree 1721/2007, increasing accessibility for low-income groups. Applications must be submitted by 30 September (Art. 41).

In 2 key points

  1. Students with family income < €30,000 receive a €300 annual scholarship (art. 2)
  2. Scholarship application deadline is 30 September (art. 41)

How it affects those involved

Students with low family income will benefit from a direct annual scholarship, reducing their financial burden. Universities and educational centres must update their selection criteria and communicate the new thresholds. Educational advisors should review their application processes to ensure compliance with the deadline. Families with incomes near the threshold should assess whether they meet the requirements.
