Andorra announces school cafeteria scholarships with a 10,000 euro endowment

The Andorra City Council has opened the call for school cafeteria scholarships for the 2026-2027 academic year, with a budget of 10,000 euros. The summary of the call is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Teruel number 178, dated September 17, 2026, under reference 2026-2673, and the deadline for submitting applications ends on September 30, 2026.

The call is processed under articles 17.3.b and 20.8.a of the General Subsidies Law 38/2003, of November 17, and the full text can be consulted in the National Subsidies Database (BDNS), where it appears with the identification 929446. The summary is signed by the mayor, Rafael Guía Marqués, dated September 15, 2026.

Who can apply for the scholarships

Parents or legal guardians of students enrolled in schools located in the municipality of Andorra may apply for the scholarships. The requirements detailed in the summary are:

• Minors enrolled in public centers in the municipality of Andorra.
• Students in Early Childhood Education and Primary Education.
• Family unit registered (empadronada) in the municipality.

The call regulates the system for granting cafeteria scholarships in schools that provide this service during the 2026-2027 academic year.

Objective and financial allocation

The granting of the service is oriented toward two purposes declared in the summary itself:

• To promote the labor integration of fathers, mothers, or guardians, supporting the family unit during the periods in which they carry out their professional activity and who, due to a lack of economic resources, cannot afford the cost of the service.
• To offer a family support measure for those minors whose family units have insufficient income levels for their adequate care.

The funding is split between two budget years, charged to items 2026.3260.4800100 and 2027.3260.4800100. The total amount of the subsidy amounts to 10,000.00 euros.

Submission deadline

The application period opens the day following the publication of the call summary in the Official Gazette of the Province of Teruel and extends until September 30, 2026. The full guidelines and the rest of the procedural information are available in the call file published in the National Subsidies Database, accessible via the electronic address indicated in the announcement.

The publication of the summary in the provincial bulletin is the procedure that triggers the start of the deadline; therefore, interested families have less than two weeks from the date the announcement appears to submit their application. The call for applications arrives after the school year has already begun, with an allocation of 10,000 euros distributed between 2026 and 2027, such that the City Council of Andorra thus covers the dining service for Preschool and Primary school children whose families prove insufficient income.
