How we can help

• Questions about BAföG applications, proof of academic progress and changing your subject
• Maximum funding period: what to do when time runs short
• Funding options besides BAföG
• Housing benefit (Wohngeld), scholarships and other funding
• Acute financial hardship, e.g. questions about our financial support programmes such as free canteen meals or the Semester Ticket Hardship Fund
• Referrals to other services if we're not the right place for your question

International students are also welcome to come to us with social and financial questions.

How to reach us

In person, by phone or online: come to our office hours or send us an email. We listen without judging and treat everything you tell us confidentially.
