Overview

• The plan includes a one-time €500 grant per non‑university pupil for school materials, with a €100.56 million budget targeting roughly 200,000 students in affected municipalities.
• University and higher arts students with residence in impacted areas will be eligible for €600 each, funded with €3 million and applied for online during a 15‑business‑day window after the decree is published.
• Foster families will receive automatic, officio payments up to €6,000, tiered by the number of minors (from €3,000 for one to €6,000 for four or more), backed by about €1 million.
• Large and single‑parent households will receive €1,000 and vulnerable families with children with disabilities €2,000 through automatic payments, with a total allocation of €3.584 million.
• Applications for the €500 pupil aid open October 20 and run through November 19 via the Education portal, and authorities say the new grants are compatible with previous and other administrations’ aid; the announcement came without a press Q&A as a judicial probe continues to dispute aspects of the government’s emergency response narrative.
