Education | New online platform to provide financial aid for tertiary education

The Tertiary Education Services Office (GAES) last week launched a new tool for current and future tertiary students seeking to apply for financial support from the government.

The online platform will provide information on application requirements and other services regarding government scholarships and grants. It will also enable students to quickly and easily check the status of their application. The platform also offers the possibility of shared data among several public entities, so that users will no longer need to fill out the same information across multiple forms to different entities. 

GAES said the new measure aims to promote a more efficient use of public resources. Users can access information about a variety of higher education scholarships and loans based on merit and financial need using the platform. The platform does not currently allow applications to be submitted electronically. Applicants must still deliver physical copies of the completed forms to the relevant departments in person. The platform is available at: www.bolsas.gov.mo
