'Afstudeersteun'
What does 'afstudeersteun' entail?
A basic or, as the case may be, supplemental grant is only awarded during a limited number of years. If during this period the student is faced with study delay as a result of extraordinary circumstances, then he/she can appeal to the university for financial support ('afstudeersteun').
Extraordinary circumstances include:
- illness
- pregnancy
- physical, sensory or other functional disorders (handicap)
- extraordinary family situation
- membership to university bodies (university council, faculty board and teaching committee) position on the board of appointed student organisations
- insufficient practicability of the study programme
The following cases are excluded from the right of financial support:
- for a position on the board of the university or a student organisation for which the student has personally received a student representative grant from the university
- for board membership to an organisation that was awarded a subsidy by the university for student representative grants
- for a position on the board of a student organisation during an administrative year for which the student has not personally received a student representative grant, but fellow board members did (before 1 September 1997)
