How does that work, study allowance?

If we give you the study allowance you will get it as long as you meet the conditions. (Those are the 4 points listed in the previous piece of text). We pay the study allowance per month.

How much study allowance can I get?

This is on the Assistance Standards page. If you click on the link you can see the amounts.

It doesn't matter if you (or your parents) have savings.

Do you also get an internship allowance while studying?

If you receive an internship allowance during your studies, sometimes you are still entitled to a (part of the) study allowance. This will be deducted from your internship allowance

See more information and the amounts on the website of the central government | How high is the study allowance for students with medical disabilities.

Applying for scholarship

You will receive a letter from us within 8 weeks telling you whether you are entitled to a study allowance. We call this a decision. This decision then also states how much study allowance you will receive from us.

If your application was not complete, it may take longer and we will ask if you want to provide more information or supporting documents to us.
 

On the website BerekenUwRecht you can find out if there are more schemes in Zoetermeer to which you may be entitled.
