One-time payment to support Ukrainian refugee children starting school
Ühekordne koolitoetus Ukraina põgenike lastele
Background information
Ukrainian refugee children have the opportunity to start or continue their education in Estonia. To ease the process of adapting to the new country and school, the government will help purchase what is needed for the children to start school. The Estonian Refugee Council pays a one-off support to these children under this measure. The support is paid for by donations.
Content of measure
A one-off payment of lump sum in the amount of €50 is paid to Ukrainian war refugee children starting school in Estonia by the Estonian Refugee Council. To be eligible, the children must have received international protection or temporary protection, must start school in Estonia for the first time and must be admitted to school at the time of application. After submitting an application, the support is paid to the bank account of the parent or guardian of the child within ten working days. The support is paid per child, thus a family can receive the support for several children.
