Grants for the educational costs and purchase of tools and equipment for disabled people

Hafnarfjörður draws attention to the possibilities 
people with disabilities to apply for grants in accordance with Article 27 of the Act No. 59/1992 on the affairs of disabled people.„
Disability refers to the condition that arises when an individual requires long-term, comprehensive services and assistance due to a severe developmental disorder or another impairment of functioning.“

The Municipality of Hafnarfjörður provides grants for the payment of tuition fees not covered by other legislation, provided the course is considered to have value as training or retraining. It is also permitted to provide grants to disabled people aged 18 and over for the purchase of tools and equipment for home-based work or self-employment, provided the activity is considered to have value as social habilitation or rehabilitation aimed at facilitating for people with disabilities to create their own employment.

The application is completed on the town's website. 
www.hafnarfjordur.is, on My pages.

The application deadline is 30 September 2015.
