Need-based study allowances
The need-based study allowance is intended to support students from less well-off families during their higher education studies. It helps to promote successful studies and the completion of the curriculum within the nominal period of study. It is managed by the state, not by TalTech.
When determining eligibility for the need-based study allowance, income from the previous calendar year is taken into account. Applications for the need-based study allowance can be submitted via the Education Portal.
Further information on the rules for applying for the need-based study allowance.
Note for students who are residing with temporary residence permit for studying: When you applied for TRP for study, you confirmed that you have adequate legal income to support yourself financially during your stay. Due to that, the Police and Borded Guard Board has the right to cancel your residence permit, when you present an application, that you are no longer able to support your stay.
Need-based study allowance and need-based special allowance don't extend to students (who are coming to study from outside the European Union) with a temporary residence permit for studies.
