Dit item is gearchiveerd op 25-07-2015.

Oranjestad – The Department of Education has introduced some changes related to the Aruba Student Loan for the academic year 2015-2016. 

The Aruba Student Loan now consists of two parts:

  • "Startpakket" (beginners package) this is to accommodate the initial costs
  • Term/Semester payments this to cover all academic costs throughout the period that the individual is studying

New applicants (without previous loans) aspiring a MBO education at the EPI (ARUBA) or a Bachelor level education may apply for both loans or may opt for just one of the two.

Students that already have a loan but wish to continue their education at a MBO level or pursue their education in a country other than the one they are presently studying in may apply only for one of the two. The Term/Semester payment loan will be granted only for the balance of the sum total of the initial loan. Evaluations for these petitions will be between July 13 and 17 and the student will be notified by e-mail concerning the decision.

Students following a Master level education may also apply however only for a Term/Semester payment loan.

As of June 29 through July 10 all applicants may go to the Department of Education at the section called “Studiefaciliteiten” with the following documents:

  1. The Aruba Student Loan application completed and signed
  2. Copy of your bank ID card
  3. Certified copy of  your diploma(s)
We work together on an informative, accessible and user-friendly Government Portal for Aruba.
