Study financing

Studying involves costs

Stuvo's social services is ready to support you in all discretion in case of financial questions. Together with a social service staff member, you can check your eligibility for study financing. This page contains general information about study financing. Are you an exchange student from a partner university? We advise you to ask information at your own university.

Study grant

As a student in higher education, you can receive a study grant of the Flemish community to support your studies. To be eligible for a study grant, you have to meet several requirements such as the nationality requirements. You can find more information about the nationality requirements over here.

To check if you are entitled to a study grant, to calculate the amount, to apply or complete your application, you can always contact the social services. An advance payment of your study grant is also possible. The amount of the advance is always in proportion to the amount of your actual scholarship.
