Useful information about federal financial aid (BAföG)

For studies at a Specialist Academy, students receive federal financial aid "for those studying" pursuant to Section 13(2) 2 BAföG (i.e. 50% grant/50% loan). This only applies if eligibility conditions are met.

Determination as to whether the conditions of Section 11(3) BAföG are met with regard to dependence on or independence of parents is made on the basis of the CV.

Applicants who already receive federal financial aid but have been studying for less than 1.5 years can change courses without difficulty. After that time, courses can only be changed with evidence of an undeniable reason.

Federal financial aid is also available for those who are not dependent on their parents. Anyone who has completed a three-year vocational training course and has gained at least three years of professional experience in that profession is entitled to claim it. See Meister-BAföG!

The training course is recognized as both technical training and professional advanced training. Accordingly, aid is available under the provisions of BAföG and of AFBG (commonly referred to as "Meister-BAföG"). These are two different grant schemes.

Student financing

For situations that are not covered by BAföG alone, it may be beneficial to look into the area of student financing
(this deals with e.g., child allowancemaintenance claims against the parents or study loans).
