The Ministry of Finance, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, has announced an extension to the application deadline for the $200 Back to School Support program. The new deadline is set for Friday, December 13, 2024, at 5 pm, allowing an additional week for parents and guardians to submit their applications.
Originally, the application window opened on October 31 and was scheduled to close today at 5 pm. However, to ensure that all eligible families can benefit from this support, the decision was made to extend the period for applications.
The Ministry of Finance is urging all parents and guardians who qualify to complete their application forms and submit them to their respective schools if they have not already done so.
This extension provides a vital opportunity for families to secure financial assistance as they prepare for the upcoming school year, highlighting the commitment of the government to support education and alleviate some of the financial burdens on families during this time.
In summary, the extension of the application deadline reflects a proactive approach to ensuring that all eligible families can access the necessary resources for the education of their children.
