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.

Scholarship

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

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

1. Go to www.studietoelagen.be (Dutch)
2. Click on the green bar "submit your application"
3. Log in with 'Itsme' or with your ID-card, PIN and eID card reader.
4. Complete your profile by entering your details.
5. After you have received an e-mail from the scholarship service, you can log in again to answer additional questions and/or add documents.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the social services.
