Education loan
The education loan is another state financing option. It differs from BAföG in several respects: It serves to support advanced phases of study. Approval does not depend on income. And it is granted exclusively as a low-interest loan, which can cover € 7,200.00 over a maximum of two years.
For foreign students, the same application requirements apply as for BAföG.
Only those who have a foreigner status that entitles them to receive BAföG also have a chance of receiving an education loan.
Information on the education loan is available at the Federal Office of Administration.
Advice on the education loan is offered by the Studierendenwerk Frankfurt am Main.
