A limited STAP budget is available. In 2022, 160 million euros will be available, spread over five application periods. This allows more than 160000 people to follow training. If the budget is exhausted in one period, you can apply again in a subsequent period. A new STAP budget application period starts every 2 months on January 1, March 1, May 1, July 1, September 1, and November 1st. When the STAP budget is used up, you can start later with your education and we will help you with the application in the next round.
