The summary of the call is published in accordance with 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 (identifier 931783).

Applicant requirements

• Be the mother of a child under 10 years of age as of December 31, 2026.
• Be registered on the municipal census (empadronada) in the municipality of Granada at least six months prior to the application deadline.
• Be enrolled in formal education such as baccalaureate, vocational training, university studies, or an official language school, in public or private centers with official recognition, including in-person, blended, online, or distance learning modalities.

Those who have already obtained the scholarship in the non-formal training modality of the Educational Plans for the Promotion of Citizenship in the immediately preceding call, those with pending justifications for municipal subsidies, or those who fall under the circumstances of article 13 of the General Subsidies Law, may not be beneficiaries.

Amount and evaluation criteria

Each scholarship amounts to 650 euros, an equal amount for all beneficiaries paid in a single payment referring to the 2026-2027 academic year. In the non-formal training modality, the payment is conditional upon the existence of a certificate of attendance and achievement issued by the educational center.

Applications are scored out of a maximum of 25 points: up to 20 for family criteria and up to 5 for economic criteria.

• Applicant’s age: 5 points for those under 20; 4 for 21 to 24; 3 for 25 to 29; 2 for 30 to 34; 1 from 35 years onwards.
• Minors in the family unit: 2 points for one, 4 for two, and 5 for three or more.
• Disability equal to or greater than 33% in the family unit: 2 points.
• Recognition as a non-professional caregiver: 2 points.
• Single-parent family unit: 5 points.
• Accredited status as a victim of gender-based violence: 1 point.
• Annual income of the family unit: 5 points up to 18,000 euros; 2 between 18,001 and 24,000; 1 between 24,001 and 30,000; 0 if not accredited.

Deadline, submission, and evaluation committee

The deadline is 15 business days from the day following the publication of the summary in the BOP via the National Grants Database. The rules approved by the Plenary, on the other hand, set 15 calendar days; therefore, the calculation applicable is that of the published summary.

Applications are submitted via official request through the Municipal Electronic Office (www.granada.org/sedeelectronica.nsf) and, for those not obliged to interact electronically, also at the General Registry of the City Council or in the registries provided for in article 16.4 of Law 39/2015.

The evaluation committee will be chaired by the delegated councilwoman for Education, Employment, and Equality and composed of the Head of the Equality Service, a representative of the Municipal Women’s Council, and an equality agent, who will serve as secretary.

The call arrives with the course already started and with the deadline running from the day following publication, meaning that interested parties have about three weeks to gather the enrollment, the census certificate, and the income documentation. For mothers balancing studies and upbringing, the aid represents direct support of 650 euros, although its granting is subject to available credit and the score obtained in the assessment.
