No restarting your student finance after 30
You cannot restart your student finance after the age of 30. Take this into consideration when stopping your student finance.
Save up and use later
You can save up your student finance and your entitlement to the student travel product to use it at a later time. If you stop your student finance, you need to stop your student travel product as well, and the other way around.
- You need to stop all components of your student finance.
- You use up your student finance and entitlement to the travel product within 10 years after getting student finance for the first time.
- You restart your student finance before you turn 30. You can’t restart your student finance after that.
- Stop your student travel product and all components of your student finance by the 1st day of the month. If you do so later in the month, you will save your student finance and travel product from the next month.
Login to Mijn DUO to stop your student finance. Go to Cancelling your student travel product to read how to stop your student travel product.
Did not start the programme
Have you applied for student finance but decided not to take the programme?
- Stop your student finance immediately in Mijn DUO. If you do this too late, you will need to repay any student finance you receive.
- If you already collected your student travel product, also cancel this immediately at a pick-up device.
If you enrolled in HBO (higher vocational education) or university, please go to studielink.nl Link opent externe pagina to disenroll.
Stopping your student finance in time
Stop your student finance no later than on the 1st day of the 1st month you are no longer eligible. After the 1st day of the month, you can only stop your student finance as of the following month.
For example, you are no longer eligible for student finance as of March. Then you have to stop your student finance on 1 March at the latest. If you log in to Mijn DUO any later you'll only be able to stop it as of April.
Withdrawing during your 1st year
If you withdraw during the 1st year you receive student finance, you may not have to repay your grant and travel product. Go to Withdrawing during your 1st year for more information.
