Benefit amounts
Students attending general education institutions in person are eligible for a benefit of 70 euros. Children enrolled in the mandatory pre-school education program can receive 35 euros.
How to apply
To receive the benefit, parents or guardians must submit an application form directly to the Jelgava Social Affairs Department. Applications are accepted from July 1 through September 30, after which the window closes.
