Tuition fee
Tuition fees in higher education are the fees you pay to study. Exactly how much you pay depends on several factors, which we'll look at here.
Scholarship
The scholarship is a financial support from the Flemish government. Entitlement to a scholarship automatically ensures that you are entitled to the scholarship rate for your tuition fees. The scholarship is subject to several conditions.
Additional (financial) support
You can turn to STUVO for additional (financial) support. For example, you can apply to us for an advance on your scholarship or a spread of payment. In addition, you can also apply for additional study funding.
Programme-specific costs
In addition to the registration fee, there are additional costs associated with a degree program. Just think about costs for your textbooks, supplies you need to purchase for your internship, costs you need to incur for your bachelor's thesis, ...
Growth package / Child benefit
Depending on your domicile, you will receive Growth Package (Flanders) or Child Benefit (Brussels). The right to Growth Package / Child Benefit is also linked to certain conditions and can change if you change your enrollment during the academic year.
