The basics

What is CSN, exactly?

Eligibility

Who can apply?

CSN sets its own criteria and reviews every application individually. As a general guide, Swedish students typically need to:

Be enrolled on a full-time course that leads to a recognised qualification or level
Have lived in Sweden for at least two of the last five years, with some exceptions
Be under 60 years old (borrowing terms change from age 51)
Not be receiving certain other Swedish benefits at the same time
Have no outstanding issues with previous CSN funding
*Rules, amounts and processing times are set exclusively by CSN and can change. Always confirm your personal eligibility directly with CSN at csn.se — Debla can prepare course documentation but the funding decision is CSN's alone.
