Request a lifelong learning loan
Do you want to take a programme, but are not entitled to student financing? Such as because you are over 30 years of age? If so, you may be eligible for a loan. You can use this to pay your tuition. This is called the ‘lifelong learning loan’ (levenlanglerenkrediet).
