Is there any financial aid (grants) available?
Are you experiencing financial difficulties? The Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles can provide you with financial assistance in the form of a study allowance (known as a ‘bourse d'études’) or a study loan. The amounts granted vary according to several parameters.
If you have a modest income, you may also be eligible for assistance from the social services of the establishment where you are enrolled or, if there is no social services, contact the people who deal with this type of case there.
See www.allocations-etudes.cfwb.be/
Reduction granted by the establishment
Depending on your situation, you may be able to apply for a reduction in tuition fees or for financial aid from your institution's social services department.
Students of modest means
The criteria for obtaining the status of student of modest means are defined by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
- Age, nationality and academic conditions :
You must meet the conditions for receiving a study allowance from the FWB. These conditions are explained on the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles website dedicated to study allowances.
- Financial conditions :
Not to exceed the ceiling for the granting of a study allowance by more than €3,558, based on the warnings extracted from the tax rolls.
Total cadastral income from real estate, other than your own home, under codes 1106-2106 and/or 1109-2109, must be less than or equal to €940.90.
Certain special situations (family or professional) or the intervention of the CPAS may also enable the status to be granted.
