Portugal
Student support in Portugal centres on the means-tested bolsa de estudo from DGES — €871.25 to €6,444.50 a year in 2025/26 — topped up by housing complements for displaced students. Around it sit the merit scholarship, the +Superior grant for studying in the interior, Erasmus+ mobility funding, and free public transport for everyone up to 23. Most amounts are multiples of the IAS social-support index or the minimum wage (RMMG), so they move every year — and every entry below lists its formula alongside official sources.
