Students in financial need
Continuing education is a major investment for our students; not only is it a crucial step for their professional career, future and self-development, but also financially it has a huge impact.
Studying costs money; registration fees, school materials, a computer, cooperation, the rent of a student room, etc... The costs can quickly add up.
Not every student can get the financial 'push' from home. Many of them still have to earn extra income in addition to their studies to make ends meet.
The Antwerp University Fund, Team Diversity and the Study-oriented Services of UAntwerp are working together to help students in financial need!
COVID-19
Although the corona era is now largely behind us, the consequences of the many measures and lockdowns can be felt enormously in daily life.
Our students are also having a hard time during the past corona times. Read their testimonials here.
More and more financial problems are problems due to the corona measures and for some of them financial problems are still not over. For example, due to the lockdowns, they (temporarily) lost their student job and it was difficult for them to pay for their room or other study-related costs.
Are you a student in financial need?
Students who may be in financial difficulties can contact the social services of the University of Antwerp or via socialedienst@uantwerpen.be. They will look at all options together with you.
