Blanquerna-URL, a non-profit institution
Blanquerna-URL allocates, for students who enroll in a degree in one of its faculties, a limited fund to grant financial aid and deal with the financing of part of the cost of the studies. The student who receives the aid can renew it each year as long as he meets the established criteria. The first year is a maximum of 18% of the total cost of the registration and is effective through a discount on the monthly payments (from October to June) that the student must pay from the beginning of the year. The aid is not applied to the amount paid at the time of registration (50% of the total cost).
Blanquerna-URL financial aid is compatible with other public and private grants or financial aid, as long as they so provided. The sum of the amount of the Blanquerna-URL scholarship and the one awarded by the Ministerio de Educación y Formación Profesional (applicable to the management of the AGAUR) in the concept of "exemption of public fees for academic services" may not exceed the total cost set by Blanquerna-URL for each academic year.
