The Òdena City Council has approved the call for aid for educational activities for the 2026/2027 academic year, aimed at families registered in the municipality, with a budget of 24,500 euros.

The grants are awarded on a competitive basis, prioritizing families with lower incomes.

Aid is also available for non-compulsory school transport to the Institut Escola Castell d’Òdena, aimed at families residing in Pla d’Òdena or l’Espelt. The aid is calculated based on transport costs approved by the Consell Comarcal de l’Anoia and can be applied for quarterly or annually, until September 30, 2027.
For midday school transport to the Institut Escola Castell d’Òdena, an annual scholarship of €200 (for 2 to 4 km) or €250 (over 4 km) is granted to families residing 2 km or more from the center. These grants are paid after the academic year ends, and distances are certified by the Local Police. Applications can be submitted from January 8 to June 20, 2027.
