Kela’s financial aid for summer months for students in Higher Education Institutions, is granted based on applications. You can be granted financial aid for the time you applied it for. Apply for it online. Log in to Kela's online customer service (in Finnish and Swedish only) using your bank ID or a mobile ID. Please keep in mind that taking out financial aid for summer study counts towards your total eligibility for financial aid, which is calculated in months. Any summer months for which a student receives financial aid are also taken into account when checking the student’s annual income and monitoring their academic progress.
