Student loans

Students from Latvia and EU citizens, permanently residing in Latvia, are entitled to apply for a state guaranteed study and student loans.

Study loan is for covering tuition fees at accredited higher education establishments in Latvia. 

If you're accepted at a Latvian higher education institution in an accredited and licensed study programme and have signed a contract with the educational establishment, apply for a state-guaranteed study loan. The loan can be applied for by students enrolled in both full-time and part-time study programmes.

•    Guarantee by a private individual is not required.
•    The amount of the study loan will not exceed the higher education institution's tuition fee. 
•    Can be granted for studies at one study programme at a time. 
•    The guarantee is provided by the financial institution ALTUM.

Student loan is for covering the day-to-day needs of the student. The maximum amount of loan for one student per month is 350 euros. 

The loans are issued by Swedbank. More information:
