Student grants
Student grants are need-based. Parental income determines eligibility, and students must be 35 years old or
younger to be eligible. Annual grant amounts are between EUR 362 and 2 469, and are paid by the Ministry of the
German-speaking Community.
Loans
Province guaranteed loans of EUR 1 000 are available for a full first cycle programme and EUR 1 500 for the
second cycle. The loan can be used to cover studies in higher education institutions in the Province of Liège and
for short-term credit mobility abroad (including the Flemish Community and other parts of the French Community of
Belgium). Interest rates are 0-3 %, depending on the student's income. The loan needs to be repaid three years
after graduation. The loans are managed by the Province of Liège. An additional loan of EUR 1 500 can be
awarded on a case-by-case basis. No students took out a loan in 2015/16.
