The Ministry of Education has been running for over 12 years the national social protection program "High School Money," through which it provides financial support for students in high schools and art and vocational schools.

For students who wish to obtain this financial support, we have launched the High School Money portal, which, together with the discussion forum dedicated to this national program, serves as an efficient means of information.

The beneficiaries are students who are in the care of families whose gross monthly income per family member, earned in the last 3 months prior to submitting the application, is a maximum of 500 lei, as well as students who benefit from a protection measure or are under guardianship or curatorship, provided the above-mentioned income condition is met.

The documents will be submitted as copies, provided that, when submitting the application, the applicant also presents the original documents.

IMPORTANT!

By adopting Government Decision 712/2018 (available attached), starting with the 2018-2019 school year, each beneficiary will receive monthly, throughout the duration of the courses, if all the legal conditions provided are met, the amount of 250 lei/month.
Besides the indexation of this amount (from 180 lei/month), the value of the maximum ceiling for awarding the scholarship has also been increased from 150 lei to 500 lei/family member, given the need to align the support ceiling with the current economic situation.
