- If you do not qualify for the (full) supplementary grant, you can borrow the shortfall as an extra interest bearing loan, on top of the 'regular' interest bearing loan.
- If you are in MBO 3 or 4 and you no longer receive a grant, you can only borrow for another 3 years. This is called the ‘loan phase’. The maximum interest bearing loan is then €1,174.60 per month.

Not the full supplementary grant?
If you do not qualify for the (full) supplementary grant, you can borrow the shortfall as an extra interest bearing loan, on top of the 'regular' interest bearing loan. If you take out an extra loan and your supplementary grant is calculated later, we will offset the supplementary grant with the extra loan.
Applying for a lower amount
You can apply for less than the maximum grant. If you obtain your diploma in time, we will automatically pay you the amount you did not receive. You can also adjust the amount of your payments during your studies, even for past months up to the start of the academic year.
You can adjust the amount of your student finance in Mijn DUO.
