If you are in full-time higher education in the Netherlands, you may be eligible for a student grant. You must satisfy the following three requirements:

• Age: you must be under the age of 30 when you become entitled to a student grant
• Nationality: you must be a Dutch national or have the same rights. You can check this with the nationality chart. Click the link at the end of this page.
• Education: you must be in full-time or dual education

Do you fail to meet the nationality requirement, but are you under 30 and do you come from a country in the EU/EEA or Switzerland? Then you can apply for limited funding, namely the loan tuition fees.

Please note: if you receive a student grant, an extra earnings limit applies. In 2009 you may earn a maximum of € 13.215,83 (2008: € 12.916,17) in supplementary income. This refers to aggregate income or taxable wage, and you must keep accurate records of your earnings yourself.
