Discounts and Support
CKE stands for creativity for everyone. That means we also want to be affordable for everyone. That’s why we offer various ways to make our courses more accessible and/or appealing.
Discounts on courses via CKE
- Upfront payment discount
If you pay for a full-year course (minimum of 32 lessons per season) in one go, you receive a 2% discount. - Household discount
We encourage multiple people from the same household to take a course at CKE. For the 2025–2026 course year, we offer a one-time 5% discount on the cheapest course per household. The condition for this discount is that all household members must be registered at the same address. - Continuing Learning Path Discount
We encourage students to continue their creative journey at CKE. That’s why anyone enrolling in a second or additional course in the same course season (from August 1 to July 31) receives a 5% discount on the cheapest course. This also applies if you register for multiple follow-up courses at once.
Discount Rules
- You cannot combine the Continuing Learning Path Discount with the Household Discount.
- It’s not possible to stack these discounts. Each student is entitled to one discount only. The first discount received in a course season applies for that season.
- Course discounts do not apply to talent programs or individual lessons offered by external instructors.
Financial Support from Other Sources
Important: Always apply for support from Meedoenbijdrage, Stichting Leergeld Eindhoven, or Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur before registering for a course.
Meedoenbijdrage
Residents of Eindhoven with a low income may be eligible for a “Meedoenbijdrage” from the municipality to participate in courses or activities. The amount depends on your age, income, and living situation.
Stichting Leergeld Eindhoven (Leergeld Foundation)
- Apply for support via this form (Dutch site).
- After approval, you or your child can register for a course. Fill out the registration form completely and mention in the “comments” field that Stichting Leergeld will pay.
- You’ll receive a confirmation email with a copy of your registration details.
- Don’t have access to a computer or need help registering? Visit the CKE reception during opening hours for assistance or to pick up a paper form.
- You must reapply for support every year. Ideally, do this before the summer holidays so everything is arranged before the new course year starts.
Adult Fund for Sports & Culture (Volwassenenfonds Sport en Cultuur)
The Adult Fund enables adults (18+, not students) in Eindhoven with little to no financial resources to join a sports club or cultural institution.
- Apply via this webpage (Dutch).
- The fund reimburses up to €400 per year for a creative course.
- Payments go directly to CKE.
- The fund processes applications within three weeks and approval is valid for one year.
- After 12 months, you must reapply.
