The Tías Town Hall published on April 5 the “announcement and requirement of documentation for social emergency aid to students based in the municipality of Tías 2023/2024”. Those who applied for the scholarships should consult this announcement to review the possible lack of required documentation and submit it within 10 business days.
The mayor, José Juan Cruz, and the Councilor for Education, Miriam Hernández, explain that the town hall “included in the 2024 budget an item of 120,000 euros to allocate to these subsidies”, an amount that has “increased in recent years”.
“We ensure that everyone has access to the career or studies they want. Education outside the island involves an extraordinary expense that many families cannot afford or have difficulties with, since the residence, travel or books, among other expenses, must be taken into account,” says Miriam Hernández.
As in previous years, “both the social and economic situation of the family and the academic excellence of the student” are valued. Last year “a total of 90 students” were able to access these scholarships.
The minimum amount to be received by university students who study outside the island “amounts to 1,000 euros”. Aid is also granted for university studies in Lanzarote, for studying training cycles outside the island and for those enrolled in non-classroom education. These grants are compatible with other scholarships.
