Student grants
Public universities can award merit-based grants, for example excellence, high-performance, study, teaching master's and dual-education scholarships, as well as need-based grants and special support. Need-based grants are meant to cover minimum living costs and help disadvantaged students stay in education, and they can be combined with merit-based grants. There are no universal grants. You can receive a grant until you turn 26, and each institution publishes its own criteria and application rules.
In 2023/24 need-based grants ranged from EUR 101 to EUR 212 (most common EUR 121) and merit-based grants from EUR 112 to EUR 303 (most common EUR 202).Loans
