Student grants
Grants are need-based only and are awarded by the Ministry to home and international students who meet the conditions, which include family income. You can get one up to the age of 35, and it is paid monthly over 10 months. Grants can be combined with a loan.
According to Eurydice data, in 2023/24 grants ranged from EUR 362 to EUR 2,108 a year, most commonly EUR 663. About 43% of home full-time students received a grant.Loans
Publicly subsidised loans are available to full-time home and international students, and whether you get one depends on your programme. A new scheme introduced in 2023 to tackle the shortage of skilled workers lets students in under-represented disciplines borrow EUR 350 a month interest-free.
The best part: if after graduating you work at least half-time in the German-speaking Community for 5 years within the following 10 years, you do not have to pay this loan back.
