School Start Money for Lienz First Graders

To alleviate the financial burden for young parents, the city of Lienz supports children who are starting school for the first time with a school start money of 100 euros.

Again this year, the city of Lienz provides 100 euros for school-age children who are enrolled in the 1st grade of primary school or special school in Lienz for the 2024/25 school year. The condition is that the student has their primary residence in Lienz. "Good school supplies and school bags are often expensive. With this support, we want to contribute a little to the financial relief of families," explains Mayor Elisabeth Blanik.

This year, the funding will be granted for the first time based on income, which means that financial support will only be approved if the monthly net household income does not exceed a certain threshold (2 persons/2,200 euros; 3 persons/2,700 euros; 4 persons/3,100 euros; 5 persons/3,500 euros; 6 persons/3,900 euros; each additional person 400 euros).

Legal guardians of a Lienz school starter can now, until December 31, 2024 at the latest, collect the 100 euros in cash upon presentation of a photo ID at the Citizen Service Office on the ground floor of Liebburg.

In addition, the applicant must present the current monthly net household income without considering special payments (13th and 14th salary) by providing the relevant income documents.
