  • Bafög

    BAföG is a financial support for students and pupils with little financial backing from their parents to enable them to study. It consists of two parts: One half you get as an interest-free loan, the other half is actually gifted from the state. No matter how many loans you accumulate over time, it can never be more than 10.000€. So you will never have to pay back more than that.

    More information: BAföG Website

  • Scholarships

    Generally speaking, scholarships are financial support for your studies. The primary goal of a scholarship is to support talented and committed, but usually also financially needy people (especially young people), especially in financial form, and thus to enable or facilitate their education or further education. As a rule, scholarships are awarded on the basis of political, social and religious criteria and, in particular, on the basis of good academic, school or sports performance. The weighting of these criteria usually depends on the respective scholarship provider.

    Here are a few scholarships as examples:
