The holidays may already seem a long time ago, but the university year has only just started. Wasn’t it great to be able to switch off your alarm, spend time with your friends, go away and swim in the sea? But before you start thinking about your next holiday, make the most of this new university year!
Affordable higher education for all
Louise is 19 years old and lives in Luxembourg with her mother and brother. She has just finished the last oral sessions on her final exams, and is waiting for the results. Phew! Soon a little rest and then the holidays. Despite being an excellent student, Louise put a lot of pressure on herself during her exams. Fortunately, her mother was very attentive, cooking her favourite dishes and supporting her as best she could during this stressful period.
When Louise was 9 years old, she lost her father in a car accident, which was a great tragedy for her small family. Since then, her mother has been responsible for looking after her two children and ensuring their education. Louise is aware that it has not always been easy for her. New clothes, holidays and restaurant meals were rather rare, but her mother managed to build a stable situation for them, and she is very grateful for that.
Soon, Louise will leave the family cocoon, and she knows that her mother is worried and keeps asking herself: “How can I pay for my two teenagers’ higher education?”. Louise is a little sad to leave her mum and her brother, who is also her partner in crime, but like any teenager, she is eager to start studying abroad and have her own experiences.
Louise no longer has a father, so she is grateful to her parents, who had set aside some money for her (and her brother’s) education by contracting lalux Study Cover when they were born. Now she will be entitled to a small ‘pension’ during her next four years of study, which she wants to do in the Netherlands.
Since she was a little girl, Louise has been fascinated by physiotherapy and wants to support people during the hard times of their lives. She has been doing her research since grade 11, when she opted for Section C. She has visited student fairs, searched the Internet and watched many videos about this profession she is so passionate about.
Faced with the expenses involved, Louise looked up all the financial aid possibilities on mengstudien.lu and discovered that there are four types of grants:
-
base grant
-
mobility grant
-
social grant
-
family grant
Louise even asked about the requirements to qualify and found out she was eligible.
In addition, she will be able to receive an increase for tuition fees, and has of course decided to opt for a state-guaranteed student loan.
