Scholarships all the aids for studying to cost less!

Each year, students face numerous expenses such as study material, tuition, accommodation or transportation, which make it difficult to reach the end of the month. To cover these expenses, in this article we tell you the main scholarships that you can apply for.

One of the main causes why many students do not get a scholarship is simply because they are unaware of their existence and do not apply for it. Although the Ministry of Education and Autonomous Communities are the main agencies that offer grants to study, more and more private entities are joining this initiative by offering different types of scholarships and granting credits with advantages for the financing of studies.

All the scholarships, besides benefiting your pocket, allow you to live incredible experiences that will make your stage as a student unforgettable. Below, we tell you the main aids, which surely you can also enjoy.

 

For university studies

Whether you are already in college or are going to enter this year, the Ministry of Education calls for scholarships to complete your university studies. The most popular is the General and Mobility Scholarship for all university students.

Due to the number of interested students, the State can not grant scholarships to all, so it is necessary to fulfill certain requirements to qualify for these scholarships: general (such as owning Spanish nationality, from a Member State of the European Union; Or from other non-EU countries in the event that the applicant or his parents work in Spain), academics (these will vary depending on the studies you are going to take. Enroll in a minimum of 60 credits and in the case of a second-year student of these degrees must have exceeded 60% of the credits of the previous course if it is a technical education or 80% of the credits in the rest of the lessons), And economic (according to the level of family income is determined whether or not the student can qualify for the scholarship, and the amount and type of aid or aid that the student can access).

These scholarships usually range between € 1,592 and € 5,828, although students from the Canary Islands, Eustace, Mella and the Balearic Islands can increase to € 6,400.

Annually establish different types of thresholds or income limits that should not be surpassed to be entitled to the scholarship and the amount varies according to the band of thresholds in which the income of the family is included and the needs that the studies cause. For example, the scholarship amount will be higher for students who study outside their community or have lower incomes.

Since leaving Stander and went to study in Madrid, receives aid of about € 5,700.

Very important: scholarships for university students can be enjoyed by both public and private university students, as long as they are going to take an official degree.
