Euran Opintorahastoyhdistys ry - Support for student loan

What you get

You can borrow 1,000 EUR, 2,000 EUR or 3,000 EUR interest-free to fund your studies. You decide on the amount yourself. The term of the loan is 6 years from the first disbursement, and it is paid out in two instalments: one in November or December of the year of approval and one in January of the following year. You will repay it at the end of the 6 years in two equal instalments, so no payments are due until then. The money comes from Euran Opintorahastoyhdistys ry (Eura Study Fund Association), a charitable organisation that supports young people from the Eura region in Finland.

Who can apply

• Level of study: You study at a vocational school, a university of applied sciences, or a university. Pupils at comprehensive or upper secondary school cannot apply.
• Where you are from: You completed your school-leaving qualifications at a school in Eura or in the former municipality of Lappi.
• Field of study: Any subject.
• Grades and money: The association will assess your academic results and your financial situation. Anyone who meets these criteria will be granted the loan.
• Guarantee: You will need a personal guarantee from your parents or from two other people who are willing to act as guarantors for the loan.
