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 vocational art and trade 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, represents an efficient means of information.

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

The documents will be submitted as copies, provided that, at the time of application, the applicant also presents the original documents.

IMPORTANT!

By adopting Government Decision 712/2018 (attached), starting with the 2018-2019 school year, each beneficiary will receive monthly, throughout the duration of the courses, provided all the stipulated legal conditions are met, the amount of 250 lei/month.
In addition to the indexation of this amount (previously 180 lei/month), the maximum threshold value for granting the scholarship was increased from 150 lei to 500 lei/family member, due to the necessity of correlating the support threshold with the current economic situation.
