Applying for scholarship

Many students have side jobs to pay for their education (full-time or part-time). Students with structural medical disabilities are sometimes unable to earn a side job. For them, there is the study allowance. This provides a helping hand to still do an education.

You apply for study allowance with DigiD.

Evidence required by the municipality:

  • valid ID;
  • proof of study financing or school pupil allowance (WTOS);
  • proof follow training;
