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

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 dependent on families whose gross monthly income per family member, earned in the last three months prior to submitting the application, is a maximum of 500 lei, as well as students who benefit from a protection measure or who are under guardianship or curatorship, provided that 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 (attached), starting with the 2018-2019 school year, each beneficiary will receive monthly, throughout the duration of the courses, as long as all the legal conditions provided are met, the amount of 250 lei/month.
Besides the indexation of this amount (from 180 lei/month), the maximum threshold for granting the scholarship has also been increased from 150 lei to 500 lei/family member, given the need to correlate the eligibility threshold with the current economic situation.
