Israel's National Insurance Institute will transfer annual school grants on Tuesday to more than 140,000 eligible families, ahead of the 2026-2027 school year. The agency is allocating about NIS 335 million, roughly NIS 35 million more than in 2024. The payment is NIS 1,204 for each eligible child aged 6 to 18 and will usually be deposited automatically into the account receiving the family's child allowance. The grants cover 197,000 children in single-parent households and 79,000 children in families with at least four children that receive qualifying subsistence benefits.
