Studying involves costs

Are you experiencing difficulties or do you want to be well prepared? The student facilities service (STUVO) is the right place to help you out!

Together with a social service staff member, you can check your eligibility for study financing. The procedure is always the same:

Step 1

If you are entitled to a scholarship of the Flemish Government, you can receive an advance payment.

How to apply for a scholarship?

  1. Surf to the website studietoelagen.be
  2. Click on the green bar "submit your application"
  3. Choose the option that allows you to log in:
    • Via the itsme app on your phone
    • Via your identity card and pin code
      To log in, you need to use the student's credentials
  4. Enter the requested information > click next
  5. Start-up preference: make a choice > click on next
  6. Access to my file: the student can give access to the parents or a parent can request access. Make a choice > click on finish
  7. If applicable, you may receive later an email asking to add additional documents by uploading them in the tool.  

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the student facilities service on your campus. Contact details can be found via Stuvo.

The scholarship tariff is subject to effective approval from the department of the Flemish Government.

Step 2

Is there a need for study financing in addition to the scholarship of the Flemish Government? Based on a financial file, a staff member can check whether study financing via Stuvo is possible.

This could, for example, be for a laptop/tablet, a study trip, support in renting accommodation or another study cost. A tailor-made solution is aimed, taking into account your financial possibilities.
