Student grants
Public grants in academic year 2015/16 are available for low income students. However, students over 35 years of age registered in the first year of higher education do not receive any public grant. Students must apply for this financial benefit each year. The amount granted ranges from EUR 394 to 4 821 per year depending on household income.
Loans
Loans are available for families with at least three dependent children. Very few (less than 0.01 %) take out a loan (2014/15).
