Taking the step to study in the middle of life can be a big decision, not least from an economic perspective. At Omstella, there is an opportunity to apply for various types of supplementary economic support, depending on how long you plan to study.
Financial support for studies
Additional study grant
If you have been granted student finance for transition and retraining CSN, you can apply for Omstella's additional study grant. Omstella's additional study grant is always paid out in the same manner as CSN's decision regarding student finance for transition and retraining: both in percentage and payment plan. Together, they can cover up to 80 per cent of your salary. For incomes exceeding 35,000 kronor per month, they cover a lower percentage of your salary. The income ceiling is 5.5 income base amounts per year. If you have an income exceeding 5.5 income base amounts per year, you can instead receive 65% of lost income up to a ceiling of 12 income base amounts per year if this is more beneficial for you.
The annual income used as the basis for our calculation is determined by the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) and communicated to us in the decision regarding student finance for transition and retraining from CSN.

Short-term agreed study grant
If you wish to attend a course or training that is shorter than five days, you may be entitled to our short-term agreed study grant. It can cover up to 70 per cent of your salary. For incomes exceeding one income base amount per month, it covers a lower percentage of your salary. The support applies to the days you have taken off to study and is paid out after the completion of the training.
The short-term agreed study grant is calculated on salary shares up to and including 1 x income base amount/month.
