Overview student financing

Financing your studies can be a challenging task. These different options can be considered for this: Maintenance from parents or family, BAföG, part-time job, (German) scholarship or a loan. Before taking out a loan, however, comprehensive advice should be given, e.g. by the Studenten-/Studierendenwerk at the university location.

BAföG is the best form of student financing. BAföG stands for Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz (Federal Training Assistance Act) and consists of a 50 percent grant and a 50 percent interest-free loan. Only the loan must be repaid after graduation. The responsible BAföG office at the university location will provide detailed advice on this.

BAföG

BAföG aims to give young people - regardless of their social background - the opportunity to complete a course of study. Students have a legal right to receive BAföG if they meet all the requirements set out in the Federal Training Assistance Act.
