Student grants

Latvia has need-based and merit-based grants for home full-time and part-time students, but only students on state-funded places can apply. Need-based grants also require good enough study results. Grants cover 10 months and there is no age limit.

In 2023/24 the need-based grant amounted to EUR 1,600 a year and the merit-based grant to EUR 1,400 a year.

Full-time international students can get a universal grant, but only if they come from a country that has an education and science cooperation agreement with Latvia or that offers scholarships to Latvian students and researchers. From 2024, part-time teacher-education students can also receive grants.
