The Porto Santo Municipal Council has announced the opening of applications for financial support aimed at higher education students. The application period runs from August 24 to November 20.
The initiative seeks to alleviate the financial burden on Porto Santo families whose children attend university off-island, covering costs beyond tuition, such as accommodation, food, and transportation. The goal is to foster equal opportunities and prevent economic reasons from causing students to drop out.
Mayor Nuno Batista highlighted the measure's strategic importance for local development, stating that "investing in our youth is investing directly in the future of Porto Santo." The full regulations and application forms can be found on the council's website.
