In 2021, the Dutch government granted nearly 2.7 billion euros worth of loans to students. Up until 2015-2016, the government subsidized participation in education and training by providing allowances for school costs and student grants and loans. These served to partly compensate students or their parents for their expenditure on tuition fees, books and materials, public transport and the cost of living. The supplementary grant and the student travel card were conditional loans. A conditional loan will be converted to a gift on completion of the student’s studies within a given period. If a student did not complete his/her studies within this period it will remain a loan and will have to be repaid. This system (referred to as basisbeurs in the Netherlands) was abolished in 2015-2016 and replaced with with a system of regular, non-conditional loans.
