Financial support by stuvo

Logo Stuvo LUCA

For students of LUCA School of Arts & KU Leuven Faculty of Architecture

As a foreign student who only stays temporarily in Belgium for studying, you are considered to have enough financial means to cover your study and living costs for the whole of your stay in Belgium. 

Take into account that it is practically impossible to finance your studies and living expenses as a job student. 

Only in an emergency situation financial aid by Stuvo might be granted, and only after a thorough investigation.

To be eligible for financial aid by Stuvo you must fulfill 3 conditions, imposed by the Flemish government: nationality conditions, conditions of study and financial conditions
  • Scholarship granted by the Flemish Community

As a foreign student, you can be eligible for a scholarship from the Flemish Community, if you comply with three main requirements: nationality requirement, study requirement and financial requirement. Note that If the nationality conditions are not fulfilled in the first place, study and financial requirements do not matter.

  • Tuition fee

Your tuition fee is determined by i.a. your study contract, the number of credits you take, your scholarship status, your nationality, …

  • As a LUCA-student you pay a tuition fee and additional costs. You can find more info here.
  • As a KU Leuven-student, faculty of Architecture, you find more information on your tuition fee here.

Only if you receive a scholarship from the Flemish Community, you are entitled to pay a reduced tuition fee. The student administration office checks whether the scholarship was requested in time and whether it was granted.

This reduction also applies when you fulfill both the nationality conditions of the scholarship from the Flemish Community and the financial conditions for a scholarship, but not the conditions of study (e.g. you are registered with a credit contract or for less than 27 credits, …). In that case you have to ask for the reduced tuition fee at Stuvo.

If you don’t apply to get reduction please note that:
