Do you have questions regarding the financing of your studies or do you need help with your application for BAföG funding? Your personal BAföG consultants are there for you and are happy to help!
You can submit your application here. You will receive information about your grant and the documents you need. We will inform you about the legal regulations that apply in your case.
The responsibilities are based on the initial letters of your surname. Name prefixes, such as al, de, van, von, Freiherr, Graf e.g. do not belong to the surname (e.g. the name von Keller belongs to the subject area Jal - Jz, Ka - Kref). Hyphenated surnames do not include a name prefix (e.g. Al-Sulaihi belongs to A, Ba - Baded).
For students at Macromedia University, responsibility is temporarily regulated separately and is not based on your last name. You will receive mail from the responsible clerk. You can also inquire about responsibility at the Office for Educational Assistance after submitting your application.
