The Junta de Andalucía opened the application period for travel grants for Formación Profesional on 19 October 2026. Applications can be submitted electronically until 27 October; the budget is 3.7 million euros.

The Junta de Andalucía opened the application period for travel grants for Formación Profesional on 19 October 2026. According to Consejería de Educación , students can submit their applications until and including 27 October 2026 via the Secretaría Virtual . A total of 3.7 million euros is available for the scheme.

According to the call for applications, eligible applicants are Formación Profesional students who completed one of the practical modules in the 2025/2026 school year: the Formación en Centros de Trabajo module, the Formación en Empresa u Organismo Equiparado phase, or practical training as part of FP Dual. A territorial adjustment factor is provided for people enrolled in sparsely populated areas. There is also additional funding for people with a recognised disability of 33 per cent or more. The call specifies the requirements, evidence to be provided and ranking for the allocation of grants.

The legal basis is an Orden published on 15 July 2026, setting out the conditions for the grant. An extract from the current resolution appeared in Boletín Oficial de la Junta de Andalucía. Applications must be submitted electronically; applicants may be asked to provide missing documents. The administration notes that only applications received by the deadline and complete in form will be processed.

The regional government aims to offset travel costs incurred for practical training away from home. According to the Consejería de Educación, the programme is intended in particular to reach participants from less prosperous and remote areas of Andalusia. The number of grants awarded and their individual amounts will depend on the number of applications and the assessment of each case. The government says it will announce payment dates and final amounts once processing is complete.

The current deadline marks the start of a compressed application round. The authorities note that applications must be made through the Secretaría Virtual and verified using the standard identification procedures. Anyone who received funding in previous rounds must again demonstrate that they meet the eligibility requirements for the 2025/2026 school year. Applicants are advised to apply early, as corrections can only be made within the set deadlines.

Key dates and figures: application period opens on 19 October 2026; deadline is 27 October 2026; total budget is 3.7 million euros; the legal basis is the Orden of 15 July 2026 and the published call for applications from the Consejería de Educación.
