As a degree student of university of applied sciences, you are eligible for discounted meals in student restaurants that participate in the meal subsidy programme.
Read about how to prove your student status on Kela’s webpage.
You are entitled to the meal subsidy if you are based in Finland and are completing a bachelor’s or master’s level degree. You can qualify even if you are not a Finnish citizen.
If you are attending a higher education institution in Finland as an exchange student, you qualify for the meal subsidy for the duration of your exchange.
