The Cabanas City Council has opened the public call for study grants for the 2026/2027 school year, aimed at families with students aged 23 or younger registered in the municipality. The guidelines were published in the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña (BOP) number 178, dated September 17, 2026, under announcement number 2026/5994. The application period will remain open from the day following the publication of the call’s summary and will end 10 days later.

The regulatory bases were approved by Mayoral Resolution 2026-0754, dated September 11, and the summary was published in accordance with articles 17.3.b and 20.8.a of Law 38/2003, of November 17, General Law on Subsidies. The call is registered in the National Subsidy Database with the identifier BDNS 929186. The announcement is signed by the mayor-president, Fernando Couce Rodríguez, dated September 14, 2026.

The declared objective is to make effective the principle of equality in the exercise of the right to education, compensating families who, due to their economic conditions, face greater difficulties in meeting the expenses derived from schooling. The grants are part of a social welfare policy to alleviate the effects of the crisis, social differences, and risks of exclusion, and to promote the integration of boys and girls into the educational system and families into the training-labor context.

Who can apply for the grants

• Mothers, fathers, guardians, or foster families of one or more students aged 23 or younger.
• Have the students as dependents and be registered in the Cabanas City Council.
• Enrollment in preschool, primary, or secondary education in any of the municipality’s educational centers, except in cases where no place exists and the inspection determines the transfer to centers in other localities.
• Or alternatively, be enrolled in baccalaureate, vocational training in a public educational center in other nearby municipalities, university, or special education centers.
• Be up to date with tax obligations to the Cabanas City Council, the State Tax Administration Agency, Social Security, and the autonomous community’s Treasury.

• Primary Education: up to 125 euros.
• Secondary Education and Baccalaureate: up to 175 euros.
• Vocational Training, University, and Special Education Centers: up to 200 euros.

The amount per student is made effective via bank transfer once the application has been evaluated and the expense has been justified through the invoice for the purchase of materials. The grants are compatible with any other that may be received for the same purpose from public or private entities, provided that the combined amounts do not exceed the cost of the subsidized school materials.
