Financial and Social Assistance

For students already enrolled, several forms of financial aid are available and may be granted based on specific criteria and individual circumstances to support their studies and promote academic success. The Student Services Office is also available to assist with any difficulties related to administrative matters, budget management, family issues, interpersonal relationships, adjusting to academic life, and campus life, among other things. 

Prospective students can also contact our social workers to obtain information about financial aid for the upcoming academic year.

Financial Assistance for Tuition Payments 

Tuition fees are indexed in higher education.  More information is available on the Admissions Office page. The Social Services Office may grant specific financial assistance to cover tuition fees, based on criteria specific to UNamur. Information regarding this assistance will be available starting with the 26-27 academic year.

The Special “Exams” Allowance

The Social Services Office may grant a specific “exams” allowance to students who regularly work part-time to cover all or part of their educational expenses, allowing them to focus more fully on their exam sessions (January and/or June). The application form will be available at the Social Services Office starting no earlier than November 2, 2026.

The following financial aid options are available only to Belgian students and those considered equivalent.
