Financial Support

The AStA supports students in financial difficulty through its social programmes. Depending on your situation, you can get free canteen meals or a subsidy towards your semester fee.

Please note: The social programmes are currently being revised and will be available again as soon as possible. If you have questions, BAföG & Social Counselling can help: bafoeg@asta-hannover.de

Semester Ticket Hardship Fund

If paying the semester fee causes you particular hardship, you can apply for a subsidy from the Semester Ticket Hardship Fund (Semesterticketausfallfonds).
The current deadline is November 30, 2026.
You can find all the information and application forms here.

 

Due to ongoing revisions, the following programs are unfortunately not available at this time:

Loans (Darlehen)

Students facing financial hardship can apply for interest-free loans.

Free canteen meals (Mensafreitische)

We give out free canteen meals for one month or a whole semester to students in financial difficulty.
