How can you receive student financial aid for the summer?
Can I receive student financial aid in the summer?
Yes! You can receive a study grant, a housing supplement, and a student loan if you are pursuing degree-related studies during the summer.
There is still time to register for many summer courses. You can explore the university’s offering for summer on Aalto website.
How to apply for financial aid for the summer?
You can apply by submitting a notification of changes in the OmaKela e-service. We recommend applying as early as possible, as student financial aid can be paid from the beginning of the month in which Kela receives your application at the earliest. You do not have to state what studies you intend to complete.
What if the financial aid is not sufficient?
If needed, you can also apply for social assistance for the summer months. You do not have to discontinue your studies or register with the employment services, but you may be required to apply for a student loan.
For matters related to student financial aid, please contact Kela or read more at kela.fi/students.
