Financial support for study delays: UM 'Profileringsfonds'
Did you fall behind on your studies due to special circumstances such as (chronic) illness, special family circumstances, disability, pregnancy, because you fulfil a position on the board of a student organisation, or because you are combining your study with top-level sports? Then you might be eligible for financial support from the UM 'Profileringsfonds' for students.
As of 1 September 2025, the UM 'Profileringsfonds' will be renamed to Student Support Regulation.
