Lithuania 2023/24 - grants and loans
Lithuania has need-based and merit-based grants for home full-time and part-time students. International students can get public grants only with a permanent residence permit. There is no age limit.

Need-based grants are provided by the state or by institutions, and the conditions are set by law. In 2023/24 they ranged from EUR 3,828 to EUR 5,832 a year, with EUR 3,828 being the most common. Merit-based grants are given by institutions under their own rules.

The state also funds grants for students in teacher-education programmes and in STEM programmes at regional institutions; these do not depend on study results.
Publicly subsidised loans are available to all students: a loan for tuition (up to the yearly fee you have to pay), a loan for living costs and a loan for exchange studies. Maximum amounts are the same for home students and eligible international students, who need a permanent residence permit.

Students who have reached the maximum amount, are on academic leave or have other loan debts cannot get the state guarantee (with some exceptions). The age limit is 65.
