The Municipal Council of Calheta decided to increase support for displaced students attending higher education outside the Madeira region. This decision aims to support the young people of the municipality who need to leave the island to pursue their university studies.
The increase in scholarships represents an annual addition of approximately 40 thousand euros for the municipality. This additional investment demonstrates the council's commitment to facilitating access to higher education for students from Calheta.
With this measure, the municipality reinforces its support for students who do not have the possibility to attend higher education institutions in Madeira, helping to reduce the financial burdens associated with relocation and living outside the region.
