Grant to study Formación Profesional (Grado Medio o Superior)

What you need to have ready

1. Cl@ve active (or certificado digital/DNIe). Without this you can’t log in.
2. IBAN in your name (if you’re a minor, representative legal account). Make sure it accepts SEPA transfers.
3. Cycle and centre details for FP (Grado Medio or Superior). If you don’t have a place yet, put your planned option.
4. Special docs if they apply: familia numerosa, discapacidad, independence docs.

Documentation

• DNI/NIE of the student (and of the household members if you don’t authorise consultas).
• IBAN in the student’s name.
• Título de familia numerosa and/or certificado de discapacidad (upload only if you don’t authorise consulta or they request it).
• Rental contract + receipts and empadronamiento if you declare independence.
• Libro de familia or equivalents if requested in subsanación.
• Matrícula: the centre reports it in September; if it differs from what you declared, modify your expediente.

Step by step

1. Activate Cl@ve: if you don’t have it, register with an appointment at https://clave.gob.es/clave_Home/registro.html.
2. Log in at https://sede.educacion.gob.es with Cl@ve.
3. Search “Becas de carácter general (postobligatorios)”. Click Acceder and fill in: personal data, unidad familiar, studies (FP), centre and bank account.
4. Tick the authorisations so they can check income/patrimony. Attach only what’s necessary (independence, familia numerosa, discapacidad…).
5. Submit the application and save the PDF receipt with your expediente number.
6. Check your expediente on the sede: if there’s a requerimiento, upload your alegación within 10 días hábiles.
7. In September, confirm the centre has reported your matrícula correctly (modules/hours). If not, file a modification in your expediente.

Time-saving tips

• Use Chrome or Firefox on desktop. The sede can struggle on mobile/Safari.
• If you’re unsure about independence, don’t declare it unless you have contract, receipts and enough income. Safer to stay in the family unit.
• Tick all consulta autorisations (AEAT, discapacidad, familia numerosa). Uploading PDFs the Admin can already see only delays things.
• Check your spam folder: sede notifications sometimes land there. Still, the safest is to log into your expediente every two weeks.

Typical mistakes that can ruin your application

1. Bank account in a parent’s name: payment bounces. It must be the student’s.
2. Missing the deadline (March–May): no second chance.
3. Declaring independence without proof: direct denial.
4. Ignoring a subsanación within 10 working days: file closure.
5. Non-authorised centre or insufficient load of hours/modules: they cut or deny the grant.
6. Not checking the matrícula reported by the centre: later they cut the variable amount and you’ll have to appeal.
