Cubillos helps high school and university students financially | Gift

Ponferrada

The City Council launches a line of grants for students of ESO, Baccalaureate, FP, diplomas and masters. In addition to accrediting the registration, applicants must declare their family income to be allocated to some sections. In the case of secondary school, the aid varies from 200 to 300 euros depending on the income. At the University, they range from 300 euros to 450 euros.

The mayor, Antonio Cuellas, assures that he will keep these aids, for which 25,000 euros have been allocated, as long as the legislation does not establish that they are incompatible with those granted by other entities. His intention is to relieve the family burdens of the neighbors and also to promote the training of the little ones. Many of them may return after their studies to their hometown to pursue a profession, a trend that is taking place after the pandemic.

The City Council also allocates annual aid to births, with a budget of 13,000 euros, and to the purchase of books for the Primary, with a maximum allocation of 15,000 euros.
