The deadline for submitting applications for the $200 Back to School Support has been extended by an additional week. Parents and guardians initially had until 5 PM today to submit their applications. However, the Ministry of Finance, in consultation with the Ministry of Education, announced that the new deadline will be Friday, December 13, 2024, at 5:00 PM.
The Ministry encourages all eligible parents and guardians who have not yet submitted their applications to complete the forms and submit them to their respective schools.
This extension provides a valuable opportunity for families to secure financial support as the school year approaches, allowing them to better prepare for the educational needs of their children.
In summary, the application deadline for the $200 Back to School Support has been pushed to December 13, 2024, giving parents an extra week to apply. This change is aimed at supporting families during the back-to-school period.
