Overview of schemes
Are you unable to complete your studies in time due to special circumstances? Or were you forced to withdraw entirely from your study programme? If so, it may be possible to make an exception to the rules of the performance grant. This is called a ‘performance grant provision’.
Performance grant provisions are special arrangements. You may be exempt from repaying your performance grant, or your student finance may be extended so you can obtain your diploma. There are conditions attached to the performance grant provision.
Various provisions in case of study delay
- extension of performance grant: keep your grant and student travel product for longer
- extension of diploma period: more time to obtain your diploma
- conversion of performance grant into a gift: so you don’t need to repay your performance grant
- new entitlement to student financing: a fresh start with a new study programme
Apply via student counsellor or study advisor
Any applications for a performance grant provision need to be made via your student counsellor or study advisor. Only if you are receiving Wajong (young disabled persons benefit), you can apply for conversion of your performance grant into a gift without the involvement of a student counsellor or study advisor.
Disenrolled 5 years ago
Were you disenrolled from your programme more than 5 years ago? Then the educational institution may not be able to support your application, because your study data are no longer available.
Studying with a disability
Are you able to study, but are you unable to work a side job due to your disability? If so, you can apply for ‘studietoeslag’ (study benefit) with your municipality. You are not eligible for study benefit if you already receive Wajong.
