University of Granada - University of Granada General Scholarships

Benefit: what you get

The University of Granada runs its own annual scholarship programme, which is separate from the Spanish national system of student finance. It offers four types of grant; you should apply for the one that best suits your circumstances. Each year, around 3,000 places are available, with a total budget of 2.27 million euros for 2025/26.

• Tuition fee grant: Covers the costs of the credit points required in the relevant year (12.62 euros per credit point for Bachelor’s students in 2025/26) or up to 450 euros for Master’s students.
• Housing grant: EUR 1,300 for the academic year, provided your family home is more than 50 km from Granada.
• Meal grant: One meal a day in a university canteen on campus.
• Transport and materials grant: EUR 500 as a lump sum for travel expenses or learning materials.

How to apply

Apply online via the UGR’s virtual office. The application deadline is 31 October 2025 for Bachelor’s students and 5 December 2025 for Master’s students. This is a separate application process, independent of the national MEFPD scholarship; applying for one does not automatically mean you will be considered for the other.
