Studying involves costs Stuvo's social services department 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. Scholarship As a student in higher education, you can receive a scholarship from the Flemish government to pay for your studies. To be eligible for a scholarship, you have to meet several conditions such as nationality conditions. You can find more information about the nationality conditions over here (in Dutch).
