Kela: Financial Aid from spring 2023 can be paid back until 10.9.

Are you taking the financial aid for students? Did you make enough credits last year? Kela monitors the academic progress of students in higher education on a yearly basis. Students who have not made enough progress with their studies will receive a request for further information at the beginning of October. Students who wish to reduce the number of months of financial aid taken into account when monitoring academic progress can pay back financial aid for the spring via OmaKela until 10 September 2023.

Now it is the time to check if all your credits from last academic year has registered. When monitoring the academic progress this autumn, Kela looks at the credits completed in the previous academic year (1 August 2022-31 July 2023) and, when needed, the credits completed over the whole period of study. The academic year is monitored as a whole, so the credits completed in any individual month are not monitored.

Kela has published a reminder for students in their websites. You can read more about the matter from their reminder (link below).
