The structure of public student support in Europe.

Gwosć, C., & Hauschildt, K. (2016).
The structure of public student support in Europe. EUROSTUDENT Intelligence Brief No. 3. Hanover, Germany: German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW).
Abstract

The share of recipients of public support as well as the composition of this support differs greatly across EUROSTUDENT countries. In most countries, financial support from the public sector is available to students in the form of both grants and loans. This brief discusses the implications of the two different types of support. A relationship between the average share of recipients in a country and the share of loans can currently not be found in the EUROSTUDENT countries.
