Financial support for students

Financial support for students

• Acute or long-term financial difficulties

  If you are progressed quite far towards completing your degree and you are experiencing financial difficulties that prevent you from finishing your studies the student counsellor can help you apply for a loan or donation for your study costs from a private fund. The counsellor can also refer you to organizations that help you get your finances back in order. 

  Are you facing acute financial distress due to circumstances beyond your control and are you unable to resolve the situation? Make an appointment with the student counsellor to discuss this. The student counsellor can advise you and perhaps mediate in a solution. 

  The student counsellors can help you with questions about:

  • DUO regulations in the event of extended study delays due to chronic illness, disability, dyslexia or extenuating circumstances.
  • DUO regulations in the event of an irreconcilable conflict with parent(s).
  • If you have specific questions or require clarification about your DUO student financing or travel pass. You can authorize the student counsellor to inquire about your personal situation on your behalf if you suspect irregularities.
  • If you cannot complete your degree within the diploma term from DUO (10 years) due to illness or other circumstances beyond your control.
  • If you are deemed unsuitable for your degree programme while enrolled.

• Advice about submitting your request for financial support

  If you experience a delay in your studies due to special circumstances, you may be eligible for financial assistance. You can make an appointment with a student counsellor if you have questions about submitting your application.

  Please note that you must report your study delay to your programme’s academic advisor in due time. See the Student Support Regulation for more information.
