Other scholarships
Going abroad with BAf?G
Students who have their permanent residence in Germany can receive funding under the BAf?G for a study period abroad. Compulsory internships abroad are also eligible for funding. The higher funding rates for education abroad mean that quite a few students who do not receive funding in Germany because their parents' income is too high are eligible to receive BAf?G for a stay abroad. Please address your questions about BAf?G abroad directly to the responsible Office for Educational Funding. Only the relevant office can give you binding answers.
Education loan
The Federal Government's education loan programme offers a temporary, low-interest loan to support students at German universities. This loan can also be granted for stays abroad and, under certain conditions, for internships abroad. You submit the application to the Federal Office of Administration.
