Other factors that have not been included in this example, but which do help make your study in North America more affordable:

Your Dutch DUO loan
Did you know that, in most cases, you can take your DUO loan with you, if you want to obtain a higher education diploma in the US or Canada? Also, you can get a reimbursement for your student travel product (studentenreisproduct), which gets you almost an additional 100 euros per month. A great way to finance your study abroad!

Apply for American or Canadian scholarships
In the example above, didn’t even included the possibility of an American scholarship. Many American and Canadian schools would love to have a European student on their campus and they can have a budget to help finance it. For example, students with good grades can get one or more academic scholarships. And in the US, talented athletes can finance their college/university’s tuition because they received a spots scholarship. A large number of colleges give financial support to talented international students, if their financial and personal situation gives reason to do so – in some cases, students can receive up to 100% financing. It is also possible to get a combination of all types of financing from an American school. With a scholarship, tuition fees can be largely or completely paid for.
