The University of León has announced study grants for lack of resources destined for official Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees for the 2026/2027 academic year, with a budget of 50,000 euros. The call, dated September 15, 2026, is signed by the Vice-Rectorate for Students, Culture, and Sports and is published in the Official Gazette of Castilla y León (BOCYL) on Thursday, September 17, 2026, with the identification number BDNS 929422.

The summary is disseminated under articles 17.3.b and 20.8.a of the General Subsidies Law 38/2003, of November 17, which requires the publication of a summary of the call and refers to the full text deposited in the National Subsidies Database. The announcement appears in section I, part C.2 of Calls, on pages 132 and 133 of the gazette, with the reference BOCYL-D-17092026-181-18.

Who can apply and for what purpose

Students enrolled in the 2026/2027 academic year in programs leading to official Bachelor’s or official Master’s degrees may apply for the grant.

The purpose of the call is to ensure that no student is excluded from university studies for socioeconomic reasons that may interfere with the initiation or continuity of their training and that are not considered or addressed by other scholarships or grants.

The specific objective is to cover the tuition fees for official university Bachelor’s or official Master’s studies, such that the grant operates as a supplement for those who do not cover this cost with other benefits.

Amount, regulatory bases, and financing

• Total amount of the allocated credit: 50,000 euros.
• Purpose: tuition fees for official university Bachelor’s and Master’s programs.
• Reference year: 2026/2027.
• Identification of the call in the National Subsidies Database: BDNS 929422.

The call is governed by the Regulatory Bases for scholarships and grants for Bachelor’s and Master’s students of the University of León, published in the B.O.C. y L. on 11/08/2024, and by the clauses of the framework collaboration agreement between the ULE and the Cepa González Díez Foundation. The regulatory framework is completed by the General Subsidies Law 38/2003, of November 17, and the rest of the applicable current legislation.

Application period and signature of the summary

The ordinary period for submitting applications will begin one day after the publication of the summary and will end on November 30, 2026.

The summary was signed in León on September 15, 2026, by Diego Soto García, Vice-Rector for Students, Culture, and Sports, by delegation of the Rector on November 6, 2025 (B.O.C. y L. 11/12/2025).

The call for applications arrives with the academic year already underway and with tuition fees as the primary economic obstacle for a portion of the student body. Students who do not cover their expenses through other scholarships have until November 30 to apply for aid that seeks to prevent socioeconomic reasons from interrupting or hindering their university studies.
