Student Loans & Financial Support
In order to finance tuition payments, students who are studying in Bavaria may apply for a low interest loan from the LfA Förderbank Bayern. Applications have to be submitted through the KFW web site.
Student loans can only be used to cover tuition payments (not for living expenses). Once a loan has been granted, tuition (€500) will be directly paid from KFW to our university.
Entitled are:
- German citizens
- EU citizens and citizens of a European Economic Area (EEA) country
- Individuals who completed their secondary education in Germany
- Individuals who - due to international bilateral agreements - are legally considered as equal to German citizens
- Displaced persons
In Bavaria, student loans ares granted independently of the student's parents financial situation and creditworthiness. Loans have to be paid back after graduation according to the personal income-related status.
Bavarian student loans are available for a first-time Bachelor degree, and for subsequent consecutive or non-consecutive Master degrees. For part-time Master courses or for additional Bachelor degrees these loanw will not be granted.
Applications for the Bavarian Student Loan need to be submitted to Mrs. Kristina Hübner, at the Studienbüro (Prinzregentenufer 41, ground floor, room 0.22) - See picture above!
