Student grants
Austria has need-based and merit-based grants for full-time students in the bachelor's and master's cycle. International students can get them if they hold a long-term EU residence permit or are family members of an EU migrant worker or an Austrian citizen. Grants are paid for 12 months a year, and the age limits are 33/38 years.
The minimum and maximum amounts are set by law and, since an amendment to the student support act, are adjusted for inflation every year on 1 September (by 5.8% in September 2023). In 2023/24 the need-based grant ranged from EUR 60 to EUR 11,724 a year, with EUR 7,511 as the most common amount. Merit-based grants ranged from EUR 750 to EUR 1,500 a year (most common EUR 1,125).
