Thirty students of Qamea Island shared $7,400 of the village mataqali funds to help them get access to their education resources.
Qamea Island advisory councillor Petro Dera said secondary school students received $100 each and tertiary students received $200 each.
Mr Dera said this followed the decision by the village headman and community leaders.
