Student finance calculator goes live

(JB) Students can plan their budget in advance thanks to a new online tool aimed at helping students calculate what funding they are eligible for.

The platform on Guichet.lu, which offers information about Luxembourg's administration, replaces a previous calculator which was rendered obsolete following changes to financial aid for higher education last year.

The service allows students to make their full application for financial assistance for higher education online. Applicants can then track the progress of their application in a status update area of the site. Meanwhile, supporting documents and pdfs can be uploaded.

The service was launched by the Centre for Information Technology of the State in partnership with the Centre for Documentation and Information on Higher Education (CEDIES).

It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Currently the tool is only available in French or German. Click on the link below for more information.
