School Subsidy: FNE Distributes 271 Checks as Part of Its Parental Aid Program

PORT-AU-PRINCE.— The National Education Fund (FNE) launched, this Saturday, January 31, 2026, the distribution of school subsidies for the 2025-2026 academic year by handing over a first batch of 271 checks to students' parents. This initiative marks the beginning of a process expected to continue in the coming days, according to the institution's officials.

The checks were issued directly to the order of the concerned schools, a measure intended to ensure the transparency and traceability of the allocated funds. The FNE thus aims to prevent any misuse of resources and guarantee that the subsidies effectively benefit children's schooling.

Out of approximately 7,000 applications submitted, some did not meet all the required criteria. The FNE administration indicates, however, that it will endeavor, as far as possible, to contact the parents concerned to examine available options and make necessary adjustments.

Furthermore, parents who have already paid tuition fees for the current year are invited to reach an agreement with school administrations to carry over the corresponding amounts to the next academic year.

To ensure rigorous, equitable, and impartial processing of all applications, an analysis commission has been specially established. On this occasion, the FNE reaffirms its commitment to sound and efficient management of public funds allocated for school subsidies, in the interest of families and the national education system.
