Student ticket and student discount
Student ticket and student card
Students are eligible for a discount upon presentation of a student card with the Matkahuolto logo printed on it. Cadets receive a discount upon presentation of their official identity card issued by the Finnish Defence Forces.
Almost all students have the opportunity to join a student organisation, which provides them with a physical student card or a student card app. For more information about the student card and the criteria for issuing it, please contact your student organisation or educational institution.
The Matkahuolto logo may be used by student card issuers whose students are:
studying in Finland or Finnish students who study abroad and receive financial aid from the Social Insurance Institute of Finland (Kela) or adult education allowance granted by the Education Fund
studying on a full-time basis
not receiving any daily allowance or pay for their studies
not receiving any income from any government position, job or entrepreneurial activities
