Check below which question fits the costs you want to apply for.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tMy child needs a graphing calculator. Can you help with this?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUitbreiden<\/i><\/a>\nYes, we fully reimburse the cost of a graphing calculator, for children in upper secondary school.\n\t\t\t\t\tMy child is in mbo (BOL) and needs to buy books. Can you help me with this?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUitbreiden<\/i><\/a>\nChildren who are in vocational secondary education (BOL) and are not yet 18 years old can apply to the Student Fund of the respective secondary school for books.\n

Most student funds want us to prepare a statement for this purpose. Send a mail to\u00a0info@leergeldutrecht.nl<\/a>\u00a0to request this statement, mentioning which secondary school your child attends. We will then also tell you how to apply to the Student Fund.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tMy child is in VAVO. I have to buy the books myself, but we cannot afford this. Can you help us with this?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUitbreiden<\/i><\/a>\nWe can submit an application to Children's Aid for your child. They will assess this application.\n

To apply to Children's Aid, we need a list of compulsory school books and the cost of those books.<\/p>\n

It is important not to buy the books yourself yet, as Kinderhulp cannot reimburse afterwards.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tMy child's secondary school is asking me to pay a parental contribution. Can you pay this?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUitbreiden<\/i><\/a>\nNo, we do not reimburse this contribution. The parental contribution is a voluntary one. You may pay this contribution if you wish, but you do not have to. Your child should be able to continue participating in everything at school, such as (Christmas) celebrations and school trips. Even if you do not pay the parental contribution. Schools know about this rule.\n

If you still want to pay the parental contribution, you can do so using the U-pas.<\/p>\n

Note: <\/strong>If your child is on a\u00a0NUOVO school, Amadeus Lyceum, Aurelius College or Gerrit Rietveld College<\/strong>\u00a0is sitting and you have been billed for paying a\u00a0school trip or excursion<\/strong>, you can apply to us for this. We will then assess whether these costs can be paid from a school fund of the school.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tMy child's school is organising a school trip or school camp and I can't pay for it. What now?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUitbreiden<\/i><\/a>\nA school trip or school camp falls under the voluntary<\/strong>\u00a0schoolkosten. Je hoeft dit dus niet te betalen. je kind mag altijd mee.\nVoor NUOVO-scholen kan je via Leergeld de kosten van een schoolreis of schoolkamp vergoed krijgen. Dit is omdat NUOVO een schoolfonds heeft hiervoor. Dit geldt ook voor een aantal andere scholen. Leergeld beheert dit.
\nSo if your child attends one of these schools below, you can apply.\n
