Apply for financial aid

The Wallonia-Brussels Federation Study Grant Service can provide aid if you meet certain economic and academic conditions.

If you have any questions, please contact our Student Support Service.

At any time, when you register or during the academic year, you can get help from the Student Support Service to find out about the university's internal financial aid possibilities. Your application for financial assistance must be drawn up with the help of the Student Support Service, after an appointment with a social assistant.

You can benefit from a reduced tuition fee in two cases:

• by qualifying for the UCLouvain social fee: €374.00;
• by applying for the low-income fee: €374.00.

Please send your reduced tuition fee application to the Student Support Service, ideally at the beginning of the academic year.

If you have any questions, please contact:

• Iman Chaabane (responsible for the Louvain-la-Neuve, Brussels Woluwe, Brussels Saint-Gilles, Saint-Louis Brussels and Tournai campuses);
• Anne Sophie Hazebroucq (responsible for the Charleroi and Mons campuses).

Attention: this aid cannot be combined with the Wallonia-Brussels Federation study grant.

Families with at least three children studying simultaneously at UCLouvain may qualify for a special allowance.

To find out whether you meet the eligibility requirements, please contact:

• Iman Chaabane (responsible for the Louvain-la-Neuve, Brussels Woluwe, Brussels Saint-Gilles, Saint-Louis Brussels and Tournai campuses);
• Anne Sophie Hazebroucq (responsible for the Charleroi and Mons campuses).

Children of UCLouvain staff (whether still working or not) may be entitled to free annual tuition (66€ registration fee to pay)  and summer course fees, subject to certain conditions, which you can find on the specific page (French only).

If this applies to you, please submit to the Enrolment Office the relevant certificate, which is available on the intranet or from the Human Resources Department (arh-attestation-inscription@uclouvain.be).

You can benefit from a reduced tuition fee when you enrol for a PhD or a specialised master's course, if you belong to one of the following categories of UCLouvain staff:

• teaching assistants;
• scholarship students;
• student-researchers;
• member of the administrative and technical staff.

This reduction applies to each re-enrolment.
