There is no short cycle programme in higher education in Liechtenstein. Student grants
Public support consists of a variable combination of grants and an interest-free loan. The maximum total
amount is CHF 25 000, of which 40-60 % is a grant and the rest is a loan. From age 32 on, the state financial
support consists of interest free loans only.
Students need to have had permanent residence in Liechtenstein for minimum three years when applying for
public support to be eligible. Eligibility also depends on the student's income and assets (principle of
subsidiarity/need-based system). The amount is calculated on the basis of admissible costs and reasonable
expectations of self-support. Parents' income and assets are taken into account for the assessment of eligibility
and calculation of support for students below the age of 25 and if s/he has not worked fulltime for at least 2 years.
