Cardul educațional și rechizitele gratuite. Câți bani primesc familiile nevoiașe? Actele trebuie depuse cât ma • Newsweek România

In the 2026-2027 school year, children from low-income families can receive a 500 lei educational card and free school supplies worth 65 or 75 lei. Each program has specific eligibility criteria, and a child may qualify for both forms of support. The educational card is a one-time benefit for eligible preschool and primary school children, while free supplies are available for students in grades P-8. Families must submit applications within 25 days of the school year starting on September 7, 2026. Income eligibility is based on the family's total income and number of members, with specific thresholds set for support. Required documents include identity papers and proof of income, and schools may have their own deadlines for applications.
