Tuition Fees for Bachelor Studies

Spanish Ministry of Education grants (MEFP)

If you have applied for a scholarship from the Ministry of Education, you can specify it when you register. In the tab 'Payment Information' in the section 'Type of Scholarship' you can indicate 'Scholarship M.E.F.P.' (more information in the self-enrollment guide). By selecting this option, you will only pay the administrative fees (file opening, school insurance) until the scholarship be resolved.

The Ministry has set the application deadline for the scholarships between the months of March and May 2024, so if you have not applied by the deadline, you are no longer eligible.
