Financial assistance for parents of schoolchildren in Poland
Table of contents
The Ministry of Family and Social Policy of Poland has begun accepting applications for the Dobry start program, financial aid for schoolchildren in Poland.
As part of the program, parents whose children study in a Polish school receive one-time assistance in the amount of PLN 300 to prepare for the new school year and purchase school supplies. Help can also be received by parents of Ukrainian children who will go to school in Poland.
Money under the "Dobry start" program is paid to all students, so a certificate of income from parents is not required. Assistance is received by schoolchildren under the age of 20, and students with disabilities up to 24 years of age.
