Scholarships
There are various scholarships available to students. These are awarded by foundations, companies or other organisations and can offer both financial and non-material support.
BAföG
The Federal Training Assistance Act (BAföG) is a state support for students in Germany. The support consists of a grant and an interest-free loan. The amount of support depends on various factors, such as the parents' income and the housing situation.
Education funds
Some companies and foundations offer education funds that provide financial support to students. These funds work similarly to scholarships, but must be repaid after graduation.
Student loans
Banks and other financial institutions offer special student loans to help students finance the costs of their studies. These loans often have lower interest rates than conventional loans.
Working student
Many students work part-time jobs during their studies to keep their heads above water financially. This can also help to gain work experience and expand your network.
