Funding Applications
Questions about payments? Payments and reimbursements are handled by the Treasury: kasse@asta-hannover.de (office hours Thursdays 14:00–16:00)
The AStA can provide financial support for events and projects run by student initiatives and groups. The funding application is open to all LUH students who are planning an event or project and want to apply for funding.
Funding is a voluntary service of the AStA and there is no legal entitlement to it. The AStA or the Student Council (StuRa) decides on approval at its own discretion.

Office hours: Mondays 10:00–12:00, Fridays 10:00–12:00 by appointment only
How it works
- Fill in the form completely and email it to finanzen@asta-hannover.de before your event starts
- Your application is reviewed and approved by the AStA or the StuRa
- Processing usually takes 1–2 weeks, after which you'll hear back about the approved amount
- After the event: submit complete proof of expenditure (invoices, receipts, vouchers)
- Only then is the money paid out as a reimbursement. The AStA does not pay costs in advance
Important rules
- Reimbursement principle: Payments are only made after the event has taken place and against complete proof
- Financial year: Approved funds can only be paid out in the financial year in which they were applied for (1 April to 31 March). So please apply in good time; applications submitted shortly before the end of the year may not be processed in time
- Economy: Funds must be used economically and for their intended purpose; otherwise the AStA can reduce payments or reclaim them
- Proof of expenditure: Please submit all documents completely and together; documents submitted individually or incomplete cannot be processed
- Fees: If fees are paid to people as part of the event, the fee agreement must be concluded between you and that person, not with the AStA and not on an AStA template. Usual amounts are up to €150 for speakers or up to €200 for workshops lasting several hours. Travel costs are generally not covered by this
Note on the Mitteilungsverordnung (MV)
The AStA is required by law to report payments totalling €3,000 or more per person and calendar year to the tax office. You'll find details in the annexes to the form.
