The Ministry of Finance has announced an extension for submitting state student financial aid applications for the academic year 2024-2025. The revised deadline is now set for October 24, extending the previously defined submission window.
Clarifying the Submission Issue
According to the agency responsible for grants and subsidies within the Ministry of Finance, a significant number of electronic applications, originally expected to be submitted by parents or guardians as prescribed by the State Student Financial Aid Law (2015-2022), were instead filed directly by the students using their personal Cy Login accounts. This discrepancy prompted immediate remedial action to ensure all eligible applicants are properly accommodated.

Revised Application Window Details
In response to this oversight and under the directive of the Prime Minister’s Council as of October 8, 2025, an exceptional extension period has been granted. Prospective applicants now have the opportunity to complete and submit their applications between October 20 and October 24, 2025, thereby addressing any delays or administrative missteps linked to the original submission process.
Guidance for Affected Households
Households with student applicants who have not yet submitted their application—as stipulated under the relevant legal framework—are urged to act swiftly. Families who have not yet registered for state student financial assistance for the 2024-2025 academic year must submit their applications within the newly established timeframe. It is critical to note that once this period lapses, the opportunity to file applications for the current academic year will be definitively closed.
This decisive administrative response underscores the Ministry’s commitment to ensuring fairness and due process within the state student aid framework, thereby safeguarding the intended beneficiaries of this essential financial support program.
