Student grants
The federal student grants for 1st and 2nd cycle can systematically be divided into two sections: direct study
financing received in cash, and indirect study financing. Indirect financing may be a transfer payment to the
students’ parents (e.g. family allowances and tax relief), or non-cash benefits (e.g. health and accident insurance
for students and tax benefits).
Direct student support is paid out in monthly instalments of up to EUR 9 492 per year on the basis of social criteria
and of good academic performance. The amount is assessed on the basis of the income of the parents, the
student and his/her spouse, and the number of family members. Students may only be required to pay back grants
when proof of academic achievement is missing after the first two semesters.
Loans
No student loans.
