Liechtenstein 2013/14 - values of student grants

Student grants

Public support consists of a variable combination of grants and loans. The maximum total amount is CHF 25 000, of which 40-60 % are a grant and the rest is a loan. From age 32 on, the state financial support consists of interest free loans only.

Public grants are available for students, depending on their income (principle of subsidiarity). They need to have the Liechtenstein citizenship or reside in Liechtenstein to be eligible. The amount is calculated on the basis of admissible costs and the reasonable own support.

Up to the age of 25 and if students have not been working fulltime for at least 2 years, parents are included in the eligibility and calculation process.

State scholarships and grants are fully portable to promote mobility.

There are no financial support systems for incoming students.
