Additional Support for Students with Disabilities

Combining your education and a part-time job can be challenging. The municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn has a special scheme for students with a disability: the study allowance. Read more about this support below!

What is study allowance? 🤔

The study allowance is a monthly benefit that you receive! You could see it as a helping hand. With this extra support, we want to make it easier for you to fully focus on your studies. This increases your chances of success! Don't worry. You don't have to pay the money back later because it's not a loan. You can keep the amount and spend it freely, for example on your rent.

When will I receive a study allowance? 🙋

It is useful to know that not everyone automatically receives a study allowance. Do you want to know when you are entitled to it? These are the conditions:

You live in Alphen aan den Rijn, Kaag en Braassem or Nieuwkoop
You are a Dutch citizen or have a valid residence permit
You are unable to work due to an occupational disability
You have not received a study allowance in the past 12 months
You receive a student grant or a basic allowance through the Education Contribution and Study Costs Allowance Act (WTOS).

How much study allowance will I receive? 💰

The amount of study allowance you receive depends on your age. Below you can see an overview of what you will receive net per month in 2024:
