What does the Ajut Parla3 for Grant Holders consist of?

Students who, during the 2024-2025 academic year, received an Equitat scholarship, a general scholarship from the Department of Education, or any other general scholarship for post-compulsory studies (university or non-university studies, such as upper secondary education) may apply for this type of grant for language courses in the 2025-2026 academic year.

The grant covers up to €600 per level or sublevel, and the amount granted will depend on the cost of the course. In no case will it exceed the total tuition fee.

The grant can be requested more than once within the same academic year if consecutive levels of the same language are taken. Thus, if a student enrolls on two consecutive intensive English courses (from October to February and from February to June) or on an intensive course and a summer course at the next level, they may apply for a grant for each course.

With this grant, grant holders do not need to pay the language course fee in advance. If the course costs €600 or less, as is the case of all Idiomes UPF courses, enrollment can be completed without any upfront payment.

Once enrolled, students must apply for the Parla3 scholarship for grant holders within the deadlines set in the call for applications and always before the start of the language course.

Important: The Idiomes Office will inform you when the relevant call for your course opens.

To be eligible for the Ajuts Parla3 for grant holders, the following requirements must be met:

  • Have received, during the 2024–2025 academic year, an Equitat scholarship, a general scholarship from the Department of Education, or any other general scholarship for post-compulsory studies (university or non-university studies, such as upper secondary education).
  • Be enrolled on undergraduate studies at a Catalan university during the 2025–2026 academic year.
  • Be enrolled on an Idiomes UPF language course at any level and any foreign language during the 2025–2026 academic year.

To apply for the Ajuts Parla3 for grant holders, the enrollment receipt for the Idiomes UPF course must be submitted within the deadlines established in the call for applications and, in all cases, before the start of the language course. To be eligible for the grant, students must also successfully complete the course.

First deadline (for language courses starting in October) From 11 September to 24 October 2025, at 2 pm
Second deadline (for language courses starting in February) From 2 February to 13 March 2026, at 2 pm
Third deadline (for language courses starting in July) From 1 to 26 June 2026, at 2 pm

Once the course has been completed, the corresponding pass certificate must be submitted to AGAUR, which proves that the level has been successfully achieved. This requirement is necessary both to maintain the awarded grant and to be eligible to apply for a new Ajut Parla3 for the next level.

To report dropping out of the course, the following steps must be taken:
