The total investment for this 2026/2027 academic year represents a significant increase compared to the €145,000 from the previous year (2025/2026). The aid is broken down into different categories to cover students' needs.
€60,000 is allocated to aid for rent for university and vocational training students, an increase of €20,000 from the previous year. For study grants for post-compulsory education, the budget amounts to €95,000, €15,000 more than in the previous period.
Aid for the purchase of textbooks and school supplies, as well as aid for families with children enrolled in first-cycle nursery schools (0 to 3 years), remain unchanged, with investments of €15,000 and €10,000 respectively.
As a practical example from the previous year, a student who rented an apartment in La Laguna and pursued university or vocational studies received individual aid of €860. This figure is expected to be higher in the 2026-2027 academic year due to the approved budget increase.
The council emphasizes that this support for education is a notable effort, especially for municipalities in Tenerife and the Canary Islands with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants. The ultimate goal of this aid is to facilitate access to education and alleviate the associated expenses for students and their families.
