The government has promised that there will be a basic grant in higher education once again as per September 2023. In order to do this, Minister Dijkgraaf has to speed up the process of passing a bill through the House of Representatives and the Senate.<\/p>\n

The House of Representatives drew up a long list of questions about his bill. Minister Dijkgraaf sent his answers just before the Christmas holidays. The questions had certainly not knocked him off course.<\/p>\n

The basic grant will soon be 275 euros for students living away from home and 110 euros for students living at home, and students will not receive it retroactively. The supplementary grant will be a maximum of 416 euros. These starting points have been widely discussed with parliament for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\t
