The University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) has announced a 2020-2021undergraduate scholarship for students with disabilities, which also include grants for students with disabilities who have graduated and who will start a master’s degree in the UCLM.

The scholarship could be requested from next July 1 and until September 28.

The scholarship was launched through an agreement between the Repsol Foundation and the Social Council of the University of Castilla-La Mancha, “aware of the importance of higher education and the difficulties of job inclusion for people with disabilities.” For this reason, they emphasize that they want “to facilitate the incorporation to the University of students with disabilities, regardless of their social, personal or economic situation.”

The amount of aid will be 2,000 euros for each of the students who benefit from it. They are co-financed exclusively by the Repsol Foundation – which contributes 75% – and the Regional University Social Council – with the remaining 25%.
