Student benefits
Meal subsidy
As a student pursuing a bachelor's degree or a master's degree, you are entitled to a meal subsidy at a reduced meal price in restaurants that are covered by the meal subsidy. As a student in a specialisation programme, you will also receive a meal subsidy if your studies entitle you to student financial aid.
You can get a discounted meal by presenting your student card or Kela's meal subsidy card. You can pick up Kela's meal subsidy card from Service Point.
As a student of a university of applied sciences, you will receive a discount at all student restaurants covered by the meal subsidy system of higher education institutions, including universities and other universities of applied sciences.
