Welcome to the website for St Maarten students and other persons interested in government study-financing program and policies

This web site was established to serve as a link between our students and government.

The site has now been expanded to include a number of new features geared towards promoting communication between your government and you as well as provide you with updated information on a regular basis. As we prepare for a new academic year, there are several changes in store, that we feel will benefit you during your study. Many of these changes will be highlighted on this official site for the Department of Study Financing.

Emphasis is being placed on offering students affordable choices of universities in the USA. Formal cooperation has already been established with several universities.

For the Netherlands, thorough research has been done into the possibilities for English programs, thus providing accessibility for more students, especially those coming from English high schools.

A closer look must also be paid to the opportunities offered in our own Caribbean region. All in all, these contacts must result in good and affordable higher education.

I urge you to use this site as your link with your island, your peers and your government in particular. Your suggestions are also welcomed.
