Any student enrolled in a higher education institution in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation is entitled to apply for a student grant from the Student Grants Office (DAE), and any student enrolled at UNamur may also apply for financial aid offered by the VéCU Student Welfare Office, provided they meet the eligibility requirements.

Starting with the 2026 academic year, several tuition fee levels are available, depending on your socioeconomic situation: 

  • €0 for students recognized as scholarship recipients by the FWB 
  • a reduced tuition fee of 374 € for students recognized by the FWB as being of modest means 
  • a reduced amount of 835 € for students recognized by the FWB as being of intermediate means 
  • the full amount of 1,194 € (plus, for students who are non-EU nationals, a possible additional contribution of 4,175 €)

Submitting Your Application for Student Financial Aid

From July 1 through October 31, 2026, you can submit your application for educational grants or tax credits at the One-Stop Shop of the Educational Grants Division, even if you do not yet have all the necessary documents.
There are two ways to do this:

We recommend that you submit your application online, which offers the advantages of faster, more secure processing at no cost.

If you do not receive confirmation of your application submission within a few weeks of submitting it, please complete this sworn statement to inform us of your status.

Transitional Measure for 2026–2027

For the 2026–2027 academic year, regardless of your situation, we recommend that you pay at least the €50 down payment by October 31 at the latest to facilitate the full processing of your enrollment. In fact, due to the restructuring of tuition fees, the procedures of the FWB’s Student Financial Aid Office are currently undergoing a thorough review. Under these circumstances, we cannot guarantee that the information regarding your application for a student grant will be forwarded to us within the usual timeframes. Payment of the deposit secures your enrollment. It goes without saying that this deposit will be refunded to you as soon as a decision has been made, provided that you are recognized as a scholarship student by the FWB.

Once you receive the DAE’s decision, you will find yourself in one of these four situations:

  • Scholarship Status: Your tuition is €0.
    If you have already paid the €50 deposit, please fill out the refund form.
  • Low income: Your tuition is €374. If you have already paid the €50 deposit, it will be deducted from this amount, and you will need to pay the remaining €324.
  • Medium income: Your tuition fee is €835. If you have already paid the €50 deposit, it will be deducted from this amount, and you will need to pay the remaining €785.
  • Grant application denied: Your tuition fee is €1,194. If you have already paid the €50 deposit, it will be deducted from this amount, and you will need to pay the remaining €1,144.

If you receive the decision before January 1, you have until February 1 to pay the remaining balance of your tuition.

If you receive the decision after January 1, you have 30 calendar days from the date of notification of the DAE to pay the remaining amount of your tuition.
