Changes in the student financial aid 2023
The income thresholds for student financial aid will be raised by 50 per cent from the level of 2021. For example, a student who claims student financial aid for a period of 9 months may, from 1 January 2023 onwards, earn up to EUR 18,720 without lowering the aid amount.
In addition, the normative duration of a degree programme, entitling students who complete their studies in the target time to claim study loan compensation, may be extended by one academic year if the student proves that the delay in their studies was due to a state of war (such as the war in Ukraine) or equally serious exceptional circumstances.
The meal allowance, which lowers the price of meals in student restaurants, will be increased by EUR 0.25 to EUR 2.55 per meal from 1 January 2023 onwards. The percentage of allowance of the maximum price of meals will remain at the current level.
