    My student finance

    When it is your first time starting a full-time or dual higher education study programme, you are entitled to student finance. How it works and how much money you can get or borrow, depends on your situation and your wishes.

    What is your scheme?

    If due to a disability, or long-term illness, your studies are delayed during the first four years of your studies, you may be entitled to one extra year of student finance. In the old scheme this means one extra year of base grant and Public transportation card. In the new scheme, it means one extra year of the additional grant and Public transportation card. In both cases you can borrow for one year longer. Visit the student counsellor in order to find out whether this is an option for you. Also, in case of disability or medical circumstances you may be eligible for a extension of your study, which will allow you to study longer than ten years for your diploma. In some cases it is even possible to cancel the study debt or apply for new rights. The student counsellor can explore the availability of this option for you.

    You want to (continue to) study, but you are no longer entitled to student finance. Good news, everyone up to the age of 55 can borrow money from DUO to pay tuition based on the Lifelong learning credit scheme.
