The Cabildo de La Gomera resolves the Erasmus and Sicue scholarships, aimed at students studying higher education at universities in Europe and participating in these mobility programs. With these grants, from which about fifteen students benefit, the island institution reinforces its commitment to equal access to training for young people from El Gomero.
The president of the Cabildo, Casimiro Curbelo, recalled that this initiative is specifically aimed at students who participate in these mobility programs and allows extending economic support to Gomero students who study higher education in centers with these modalities.
Likewise, Curbelo explained that the aid includes a contribution of 300 euros per month for a maximum of nine months, coinciding with the usual duration of the academic year, so that the total amount can reach 2,700 euros per student. Thus, he reported that the resolution of this call represents a global investment of 31,800 euros by the island institution.
In addition, he recalled that the island institution is already working on the next call for study grants and rental aid, which is scheduled to open before the end of the year, following the usual planning.
The Cabildo of La Gomera has set a total investment of more than 2 million euros for Education. In this case, 1.2 million euros for general scholarships; 80,000 euros for Erasmus, 400,000 euros for transport aid, 200,000 euros for the acquisition of textbooks in compulsory education, and 126 thousand euros for agreements with public universities in the Canary Islands.
