Keep

DUO makes the decision. If you receive student finance, the payout stays entirely yours.

100% of your payout

Retroactive student finance

Past months may still be worth checking.

If your study, residence, and work situation qualified earlier in the current academic year, DUO may still award student finance for those past months. We reconstruct the timeline month by month and identify periods that may still sit inside an official application window.

What the official window actually is

The standard rule

DUO allows student finance for past months back to the start of the current academic year: 1 August for MBO and 1 September for HBO or university.

A narrower exception

If an EU/EEA/Swiss/UK student was denied but later obtains evidence that they worked enough, DUO says they may reapply for the previous school year by email before 1 April of the following calendar year.

Check the EU reapplication rule

This is not an open-ended “last X years” claim. The student travel product cannot be awarded retroactively for months that have already passed.

Rules last checked 2 July 2026. DUO makes every final decision.

The difference is preparation

Fewer loops. More clarity.
