The main task of the State Education Loan Fund is to provide financial support in the form of loans and grants to students pursuing upper secondary education and higher education. The institution has several schemes to tailor the support to the individual student's situation, including the possibility of deferring loan payments up to 36 times. This can be useful for students who need more time to get started with repayment after graduation.
The loan fund also offers specific schemes for teachers, where debts can be forgiven under certain conditions. In addition, they provide support for students studying abroad or participating in exchange programs. There are also additional loans for students experiencing special situations, such as illness or disability. The loan fund provides comprehensive information on interest and fees related to student loans, as well as guidance on application deadlines and payment deferrals, with the overall goal of making education accessible to all.
