Federal Education and Training Assistance Act (BAföG)
The Federal Education and Training Assistance Act (BAföG) is a state education funding program in Germany. It is intended for students who are in need of financial assistance to complete their studies. BAföG can be granted for the duration of the standard period of study if proof of progress in studies is provided in the meantime. International students can only receive BAföG in exceptional cases.
Information, advice on BAföG and application can be obtained from the Studierendenwerk Frankfurt am Main.
In addition, the AStA of Frankfurt UAS can advise you regarding BAföG.
