- School Vouchers: Financial Support for the Right to Education
The school voucher represents an important opportunity for families and students who need to cover school expenses. It is a virtual voucher, equivalent to a specific amount of money, made available by the Region to students enrolled in the next school year, with the aim of guaranteeing the right to education and the full completion of compulsory education.

How the School Voucher Works
The school voucher is awarded based on an application submitted by a family member or by the student themselves, if the latter is an adult. It is essential that families are aware of the timeframes and procedures for accessing the voucher in order to fully exploit its benefits.
- Voucher Types
There are two types of vouchers, which cannot be combined. Interested students must choose which voucher to request when applying:
1. Type A Voucher: intended for students attending private schools.
2. Type B Voucher: intended for students attending state schools or recognized educational agencies.For those attending private schools, there is the option to apply for either the “Enrollment” Voucher or the “Textbook Voucher,” but it is not possible to request both types.
It is important to note that vouchers cannot be converted into other types of vouchers, such as for the purchase of groceries, nor can they be used for purchases other than those specifically provided, as their primary purpose is to support the right to education.
- Timings and Application Submission
Calls for vouchers are typically published in May, with approximately one month for submitting applications. For the 2025-2026 school year, there are currently no official indications regarding the deadlines for submitting applications. Users are encouraged to regularly check the Piedmont Region website for timely updates.
