Livelihood and social assistance of students

You can apply for student financial aid from Kela for studies after basic education. Student financial aid comprises the study grant, housing supplement and student loan. In certain cases, you may receive general housing allowance instead of student housing supplement. The number of months for which you may receive a study grant depends on your income.
