Learning materials, laptop or rent deposit – there are some costs involved when you start studying. This is why first-year students from low-income households can apply for a one-off grant of 1,000 euros. And the best thing is: the grant does not have to be paid back!
Eligible are people who
- are under 25 years old,
- are enrolled in a full-time degree programme at a university for the first time
- and can prove that they were a recipient of a social benefit in the month before starting their studies.
Does all this apply to you? Then hurry up: The application deadline is the end of the second month of study.
Simply submit your application via BAföG-Digital and submit your enrolment certificate and proof of social benefits received.
