I want to go back to school: what do I need to arrange and what am I entitled to?

You want to go back to school. Which study programme will you choose, how do you apply and how do you arrange study financing? We like to help young people without a HAVO or MBO2 certificate on their way.

Quick to:

Which study/training is right me?

The Doorstroompunt can help. They can help you choose a programme of studies that suits you. See the website of the Doorstroompunt.

What are the first steps?

Choose a study programme: see the website of Studiekeuze123.
Sign up, and see the website of the Rijksoverheid.
Apply for your student loan/OV chip card (public transport card). You can do this via DUO.
What other allowances are you entitled to? See the website of Dat geldt voor mij.

Good to know

On the Rijksoverheid site, you can create a personal overview and find out what you need to arrange and what you are entitled to.
For tips on the costs, we recommend taking a look at the site of het Nibud.
