Seems you get $84 per week as an allowance, and can withdraw $210 a week as a loan. These are 2016 numbers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_financial_aid

Seems you get $84 per week as an allowance, and can withdraw $210 a week as a loan. These are 2016 numbers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_financial_aid_(Sweden) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_financial_aid_(Sweden) You also get, I think, about $150 a month housing allowance. So on top of your $150 + 4×$84 = ca. $500 monthly income, you only need to take about $800 a month as a loan to survive. (Remember, no tuition fees.)
