Student loans for Canadian students at EUC
If you are a Canadian student enrolled at Erasmus University College, you can apply for a Canadian Student Loan.
This is because Erasmus University College is part of Erasmus University Rotterdam, which is a designated educational institution for the purposes of certifying Canadian Student Loan applications. Canadian students are allowed to borrow money from the Government of Canada to pursue higher education thanks to the Canada Student Loans Programme.
If you are applying to EUC and want a Canadian student loan, you will need Erasmus University Rotterdam's institutional code, which is QULR. You may need a form to be filled out by Erasmus University College; in this case you can contact us at admissions@euc.eur.nl.
Tax credits for Canadian students
Erasmus University Rotterdam (which EUC is a part of) has also been recognised by the Canadian Revenue Agency as a 'University outside Canada' for the purposes of paragraphs 118.5(1)(b) and 118.6(1)(b) of the Canadian Income Tax Act.
In this regard, paragraph 118.5(1)(b) of the act allows a Canadian taxpayer, who was a student in full-time attendance at a university outside of Canada in a course leading to a degree during the year, to claim the appropriate percentage of tuition fees paid as a tax credit, subject to certain restrictions. The parent or guardian of such a student is also eligible to claim the transferred portion of tuition fees allowed under section 118.9 of the act.
