The Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal (Setúbal/Portugal) has a social support assigned for students with economic needs that nevertheless can’t access a scholarship from the government. Approved applicants will get a discount on the tuition fees, as well as meal and travel vouchers, school supplies, housing, and health care up to an annual limit of €485. The social support will consist of €4.8 per hour of work in any of the Institute activities between 8am and 10pm, and €7.2 in the other period.
Students cannot receive other scholarships, have to help the Institute activities when needed, and have an income above the Directorate General for Higher Education scholarship and below a value set annually by the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal.
