About Grantey

Built by someone who's done it.

Grantey helps EU students claim the Dutch student finance and Erasmus+ grants they're actually entitled to without the confusion, missed deadlines, or costly mistakes. It's guidance from someone who navigated the whole system first, so you're not figuring it out alone.

Why I started Grantey

A friend who's been through it.

Hidden fees, the cost of living, expenses that come out of nowhere: the part you're never ready for when you start studying abroad. Dutch student finance and the Erasmus+ grant exist for exactly this, but actually claiming them is a different story. I spent the last couple of years learning how. Countless calls and emails, chasing the answers that aren't written down anywhere online. It was slow, but it paid off: I learned how these systems really work and how to get what you're entitled to. Along the way I helped friends and classmates stuck on the same things, and that's where Grantey came from, so you don't have to figure it out alone.

What we believe

Honest guidance, clear principles.

Students deserve the money they're entitled to

EU funding and allowances exist to support students. If you qualify, you should receive it, without confusion, shame, or gatekeeping.

The system is needlessly confusing, we make it clear

Portals, forms, deadlines, and rules change constantly. We cut through the noise and translate bureaucratic language into plain steps you can actually follow.

Doing it right and staying compliant matters more than over-claiming

We never push you to claim something you don't qualify for. Getting funded is only half the battle. Staying eligible and avoiding clawbacks is what protects you long-term.
