Student grants
Spain offers need-based grants (becas) to home and international students, full-time and part-time. There is no age limit, and the grant is paid in one instalment that covers 12 months.
The grant has two parts. The fixed part depends on family income, on where you live during the academic year and on excellent results. The variable part is calculated from your average grade and your income, so it is different for every student. A grant can also include a tuition fee waiver.
In 2023/24 need-based grants went up to EUR 9,286 a year, with a typical amount of about EUR 3,855. Part-time students can only apply for the fee waiver and the minimum variable component of EUR 60.
