• You are entitled to student allowance (WSF 2000) or receive financial assistance under the Fees and Educational Expenses (Allowances) Act (WTOS).
• You cannot work alongside your studies due to a disability or illness. To assess whether this is your case,we request an independent medical opinion. In some cases, a medical opinion is not necessary. For example, if the opinion of the attending physician/therapist clearly indicates that you cannot work alongside your studies. We will base the decision on whether to grant you student allowance on this information.
