Study allowance

Are you pursuing or planning to pursue an education? And are you unable to earn extra income to make ends meet due to your structural medical disability? Then you may be entitled to a study allowance. This is an amount with which you can supplement your income in addition to the study grant.

Requirements

  • You live in Voorne aan Zee.
  • You are 18 years of age or older.
  • You are entitled to study financing through the Wet Studie Financiering (through DUO) or the Wet tegemoetkoming onderwijsbijdrage en schoolkosten.

  • You do not receive a supplement or benefit from the UWV (Wajong benefit).
  • It has been determined that you are unable to earn the legal minimum wage and have no potential for employment.
     

Medical limitation

How do we determine if there is a structural medical impairment?

We determine this by the information you give us. For example, a report from the UWV or a specialist. Do you not have this? Then we will have a medical examination carried out by an independent doctor.
 

Make an appointment

You apply for the allowance once. As long as you meet the Requirements , you will receive study allowance. Does something change in your situation? This may affect your study allowance. You are obliged to report a change to the Municipality of Voorne aan Zee. For example, if:

  • You start an internship or stop your studies.
  • You receive income from employment or entrepreneurship.
  • You are moving to another municipality.
     

You can apply for the study grant by emailing nl or call 14 0181. 

How high is the study grant?

The amount of the allowance is equal to the minimum study allowance set nationally. Are you doing an internship as part of your studies and receive an allowance for it? Then that compensation is partially released.
