Student grants
Only full-time students are eligible for student support. The maximum annual aid is EUR 11 260.32. A common 
amount is EUR 8445.24 (of which EUR 3 600 is a student loan).  
Study grants (SG), which require the completion of an average 60 credits per year, are universal for a maximum of 
64 months.  Amounts  depend  on  age  and  whether  the  student  lives  with  parent(s).  Typically,  for  students  over 
18 years living on their own the maximum is EUR 336.79. For students under 20 years living with their parents, the 
typical range is between EUR 62-163.80 per month. 
A  housing  supplement  (HS)  covers  80 %  of  the  rent  for  students  living  independently,  with  a  maximum  of 
EUR 201.60/month. HS aims to match support to need (i.e. less support to students with lower housing costs).  
SG and HS are typically available for nine months only if the student's income, which may be earned at any time 
during the calendar year, is below EUR 11 850/year.
