Financial aid from the Luxembourg State: special measures

An additional allowance of up to 1.240€ per semester may be granted to students who are in a serious and exceptional situation and who have to bear extraordinary expenses that are essential and indispensable for continuing their higher education studies.

A serious and exceptional situation is understood to mean:

1. A student who, due to a substantial, long-lasting or permanent impairment of physical, sensory, mental, cognitive or psychological functions, a multiple disability, or a disabling health condition, experiences limitations or restrictions affecting participation in higher education studies.
   An impairment is considered long-lasting or permanent when it affects the student's higher education studies for a cumulative period of at least nine months within a study cycle.
2. A student who does not have sufficient personal resources to independently cover the costs associated with pursuing higher education. This situation of social and financial hardship must be certified by a social welfare service.

The amount of the additional allowance is proportional to the actual expenses incurred by the student.

Eligibility for this allowance is subject to the student having been awarded the social grant, either in the form of a grant or a loan, and having taken out the full amount of the student loan to which they are entitled for the semester concerned.

Applications for an additional allowance, an extension or a postponement of academic progress assessment must be submitted in writing to the Financial Aid Service (aidefi@mesr.etat.lu). They will be granted based on a favorable opinion from the advisory committee provided for in Article 26 of the Law of 6 July 2026 concerning State Financial Aid for Higher Education.
