Financing the study programme

Studentenwerk Freiberg unterstützt dich bei finanziellen Anträgen

One of the decisive reasons for or against studying is the question of funding. BAföG is still the most cost-effective and reliable form of student funding.

However, some things change during your studies and you can suddenly find yourself in financial difficulties very quickly. This is where the Studentenwerk comes into play, which is not only responsible for BAföG, but also grants loans and advises on other forms of financing.

BAföG

The Federal Training Assistance Act offers students in Germany financial support to enable them to study regardless of their financial situation. As Studentenwerk Freiberg, we are on hand to advise you and support you with your application and all questions relating to BAföG.

Loans

A loan granted by the Studentenwerk is intended to cushion a short-term financial emergency. It is independent of the student's income and assets and can be obtained parallel to BAföG.

Scholarships & Foundations

Foundations and organisations for the promotion of gifted students can also provide funding in individual cases. Some of the foundations make denominational or party affiliation dependent on funding, others on academic performance or social commitment.

Student loan

Student loans offer students an opportunity to finance their studies if other support options such as BAföG or scholarships are not sufficient. As the conditions vary greatly, it is important to compare the offers carefully and make an informed decision - we at Studentenwerk Freiberg will be happy to help you with comprehensive advice.

Student jobs

Many students don't realise that we also offer and arrange student jobs and internships. This can also help when putting together an all-round student finance package.
