Do you hold Dutch nationality? You might be eligible for the basic grant |
The basic grant is being reinstated for higher education students. It's a performance-based grant that converts into a gift if you obtain your degree within 10 years. Additionally, there are other changes: for instance, a purchasing power compensation, and from September 2023, students with a disability will receive an extra year of basic grant upon extending their financial support.
