ACA grants

Grants for university students from affiliated centers (ACA grants) are announced in January or February of each year, and can be applied for by students who are already enrolled in the current academic year. 

These grants are managed by the University and Research Grants Management Agency (AGAUR).

These grants aim to help cover part of the university tuition fees for students who are taking official undergraduate studies at the affiliated educational centres specified in the call, which includes TecnoCampus. 

They are compatible with the general scholarship from the Ministry of Education and Professional Training for the same academic year. 

This call is funded by the Directorate General of Universities (DGU) of the Department of Research and Universities and managed by the Agency for the Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR).

The call for ACA grants for the 2024/2025 academic year has been approved and you can consult it in the "Regulations and reference documentation" section of this same page. 

The amount of the grant will be established as a lump sum to help cover part of the university tuition costs of students who are taking official undergraduate studies at the affiliated centers specified in the call.

To establish the amounts of the grants, the prices set by the current Decree that sets the prices of academic services at Catalan public universities and the Open University of Catalonia are taken into account. For this reason, the amount of grants awarded may vary between different centers and studies.

The amount of aid you can obtain will depend on the calculation formula detailed in the regulations, and the number of grants awarded.

Students enrolled in official undergraduate university studies at one of the affiliated centers specified in the call, including TecnoCampus. Students must meet the academic and financial requirements detailed in the call.

  • Master's, postgraduate, specialization courses and own degrees recognized by universities.
