If the yearly income, of the family you belong to, does not exceed a specific income limit, you are entitled to a scholarship.
Normally, the income of the second calendar year before the year of application will be taken into account. This means that for the academic year 2024-2025 the income of 2022 will be evaluated for the calculation of the scholarship. If you indicate on the application form that the family income has decreased since 2022, the estimated income of calendar year 2024 will be taken into account for the calculation. However, in case of a recent change in your family situation (e.g. divorce or death of one of your parents) still another year of income may be taken into account.
If you are married or if you have been financially independent for some time, the calculation may be based on your own income and/or the income of your partner.
Note! You will have to have earned a minimum amount in order to be considered as an ‘independent’ student.
Contact the Social Services’ office of your campus/Office for Student Affairs of your campus for more information on the financial conditions that must be fulfilled in order to be eligible for a scholarship of the Flemish Community.
