How to apply for financial aid
Apply for financial aid online. Please note that the e-service is available in Finland and Swedish only.
Scan or take a photo of supporting documents and send them online.
Visit our e-service to see if your application has been decided, how much you will get and when you will be paid. You can also see any possible reminders concerning, for instance, documents missing from your application. A written decision on your application will be sent to you by post. If you are under 18, Kela will communicate the decision also to your legal guardian.
If you live and study Finland and Swedish only, check if you can get general housing allowance. It must be claimed separately.
Alternatively, you can complete and print out an application for financial aid. Mail your application along with the supporting documents to [email protected].
