Scholarships for non-university students Requirements

 

General requirements

To qualify for Scholarships for non-university students, applicants must meet the following general requirements as of December 31, 2018:

 

  • Be Spanish, or possess the nationality of a member state of the European Union. In the case of citizens of the Union or their families, beneficiaries of the rights of free movement and residence, it will require them to have the status of permanent residents or that they prove to be self-employed or others. In the case of non-EU foreigners, the provisions of the regulations on the rights and freedoms of foreigners in Spain and their social integration will apply.

 

  • Not having at the time of applying for the scholarship a degree of an equal or superior level to the studies for which they request the scholarship.

 

  • Meet the rest of the academic and economic requirements specified in this post.

 

Scholarships for non-university students Economic requirements

Besides the general requirements, economic requirements must be met, taking into account the income received by the family unit in the fiscal year of the previous year (for the 2019-2020 academic year, the year 2018 is considered), applying deductions for certain situations (large families, applicants with disabilities, etc.) whose details can be found in the call.

 

These economic requirements are established through income thresholds or which will determine the scholarship components that can be received. These components are five:

  • A fixed amount linked to income (1,600 euros).
  • A fixed amount linked to residence, to be received only if you need to live outside the family home during the course (1,500 euros).
  • Basic scholarship (200 euros).
  • The variable amount which depends on the per capita income of the student’s family unit and their average grade.
  • Fixed amount linked to excellence in academic performance (between €50 and €125).

On the other hand, other limits cannot be exceeded to be a beneficiary of a scholarship, among which are:

  • The net income of the movable capital plus the capital gains of the family unit cannot exceed 1,700 euros during 2018.
  • The cadastral values ​​of the real estate properties of the family unit other than the habitual residence may not exceed the limits established in the call.
  • Income from economic activities or participation in entities cannot exceed 155,500 euros during 2018.

In this way, the scholarship components that may correspond to the applicant will be determined by the threshold below which the income of the family unit remains during 2018:

 

  • Below threshold 3: Basic scholarship and a fixed amount linked to excellence in academic performance.
  • Below threshold 2: Basic scholarship, a fixed amount linked to excellence in academic performance, a fixed amount linked to the residence and a variable amount.
  • Below threshold 1: Fixed amount linked to excellence in academic performance, a fixed amount linked to residence, a fixed amount linked to income and a variable amount.

The economic requirements are not met if the family income exceeds the amounts established in threshold 3.

 

It must be taken into account that there may be other limitations derived from the studies the student is taking (for example, in the case of completely non-face-to-face studies), the number of subjects or modules in which he has enrolled, etc., which prevent him from perceiving certain components

 

It is also worth knowing that certain academic circumstances, such as the average grade, affect the amount of some component, such as the variable amount or the fixed amount linked to excellence in academic performance. Likewise, other situations, such as the residence on islands or the student’s disability, may lead to the perception of additional amounts.

 

Other requirements for Scholarships for non-university students

In addition to the above requirements, it must be known that other conditions must also be met to obtain certain components of the scholarship: for example, the need to reside outside the family home must be accredited to qualify for the fixed amount associated with the home.

 

There are also specific circumstances that require special accreditation or that may change the components to be perceived. For example:

 

  • Students who are independent of the family unit of their parents must later prove to the processing unit the ownership or rental of their habitual residence, as well as having sufficient economical means of their own.
  • Students who perform certain studies, such as completely non-contact, language or adult-specific.
  • Obligation to dedicate the scholarship to the established purpose
  • Students who are scholarship recipients, as recipients of a state grant, are required to allocate said scholarship for the purpose for which it is granted. It will be understood that this requirement is not met when any of the following circumstances occur:
  • Having withdrawn from the centre during the course.
  • Not attended 80% or more of the teaching hours, except for dispensing from schooling.
  • Not having exceeded 50 percent of the subjects or credits enrolled in an ordinary or extraordinary call.

In these cases, the student must reimburse the amount of the scholarship received.
