Applying for study benefit for students with a disability

Do you receive government financial support for your tertiary or secondary education? Are you unable to earn extra income due to a chronic illness or disability? Then you may be eligible for study benefit (studietoeslag) from your municipality.

In all cases, the following conditions must be met to be eligible to receive study benefit:

you receive student finance (studiefinanciering) as a tertiary student or a basic allowance (basistoelage) for secondary students;
you cannot earn extra income alongside your studies because of your disability.
you are not entitled to the Wajong benefit

Ask your municipality about all the conditions that apply.

You can apply for study benefit at the municipality where you live, regardless of where you are studying.

This is how it works for you

Your (future) place of residence falls under:

Municipality of Bernheze

Here is some information from your municipality.

Study benefit

The individual study allowance is for people with a work disability who are unable to earn the legal minimum wage. You receive the individual study allowance as financial compensation because it can be difficult to combine studying with a secondary job.

Please note. You can only apply for individual study allowance if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
