Students with family income below 30,000 EUR to receive 300 EUR annual grant, applications due by 30 September

Royal Decree 179/2026 sets new income thresholds and grant amounts for the 2026-2027 academic year. Students with family income under 30,000 EUR will receive an annual grant of 300 EUR. This update modifies the personalised grant system established in Royal Decree 1721/2007, improving access for low-income groups. Applications must be submitted by 30 September.

In 2 key points

  1. Students with family income < 30,000 EUR: right to 500 EUR scholarship (art. 2)
  2. Application for scholarship within 30 days of course start (art. 2)

How it affects those involved

Students with family income under 30,000 EUR qualify for a 500 EUR annual scholarship; those above the threshold lose eligibility. Applications must be made within 30 days of the course start. Administrative bodies must update their databases to ensure compliance with the income threshold.
