At Comillas, we firmly believe that no talented student with the ability to apply themselves and a strong affinity with our values should be denied a place at our University for financial reasons. As such, in addition to our range of study grants and financial aid, ICAI-ICADE Comillas Pontifical University also offers a limited number of places to live in Madrid in collaboration with various Halls of Residence and University Accommodation centers. This scheme consists of partial grants toward the annual cost of living in Halls of Residence and University Accommodation for students from limited-income families living outside the Community of Madrid.
Who is eligible for these grants?
Students enrolled on the first academic year of any BA degree program (excluding the San Juan de Dios' University School of Nursing and Physical Therapy), who come from limited-income families domiciled outside the Community of Madrid.
What do these grants cover?
These grants consist of a 40% discount on the annual cost of staying at the Halls of Residence and University Accommodation participating in this scheme.
These grants are renewable each academic year and will be renewed providing the requirements in the corresponding Call for applications are met.
The corresponding Call for applications will run providing there are places available among those offered at Halls of Residence and University Accommodation, including those offered due to the end of the current occupant's studies or due to students losing or turning down their places.
The Grant Commission for places at Halls of Residence and University Accommodation can revoke these grants if the student leaves the University, Halls of Residence or University Accommodation: 1) under application of disciplinary action in the corresponding Halls of Residence or University Accommodation; 2) due to failure to meet the renewal criteria set by the Halls of Residence or University Accommodation; and 3) if the student decides to stop living in the Halls of Residence or University Accommodation.
