Family resource conditions
Family resources must not exceed a certain ceiling.
For school year 2022, categorical net income of the year 2020 serves as a reference.

1
€25,370
2
€31,225
3 children or +
€37,080 + €5,855 per additional child
The ceiling is the same regardless of the situation of the beneficiary family.
Warning
in case of slight exceeding the ceiling, a degressive allocation called differential allocation, calculated on the basis of income, may be paid.
Age of child
The child must be between 6 and 18 years old.
