Looks like the hyperlink doesn't work for me. You could edit it to be "https://www.ceealar.org/" or "http://ceealar.org/" instead :)

Many students in the Netherlands don't receive these benefits 😔. If you are Dutch, it's easy to get it. But internationals now make up 40% of incoming university students (and I think there are a disproportionate amount of internationals in the Dutch EA community), and even for EU students there are a lot more barriers -- you have to have lived in the Netherlands for at least 5 years, a parent or partner needs to work in the Netherlands, or you have to be employed -- internships unfortunately don't count as an eligible employment contract. On top of that, the eligibility for student finance dictates your eligibility for the student travel product.

Anecdotally, many (international) students I know at uni have not pursued internships for this reason (low wage + no govt benefits).
