Blanquerna grants for 1st year students
Blanquerna-URL, a non-profit institution
Blanquerna will award grants ranging from 10% to 60% of the bachelor’s degree cost to students with economic difficulties, evaluating their academic record from prior studies. In addition, each year Blanquerna-URL will allocate a limited number of grants to students with greater economic difficulties, regardless of their academic record. These grants will range from 50% to 90% of the degree cost.
The grant is applied in the form of a tuition discount. Each year, Blanquerna-URL will allocate to the Blanquerna Grants the amount of revenue obtained from individuals who have made the first tuition payment but ultimately do not begin their studies.
Blanquerna-URL financial aid is compatible with other public or private scholarships and grants, as long as those allow it. The combined amount of the Blanquerna-URL Grant and the exemption from public fees for academic services granted by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (managed through AGAUR) cannot exceed the total cost set by Blanquerna-URL for each academic year.
New applications
