New regulation

Starting this winter semester there will be more BAföG for more students: Not only the BAföG rates have been increased, but also the parental allowances, so that more students are entitled to BAföG than before. It is always worthwhile to submit an application.

An overview of all improvements and detailed information can be found at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and on the pages of the Deutsches Studentenwerk.

Apply now for BAföG funding at the BAföG office here in Freiburg.

If you have any further questions, the staff of the BAföG-Amtes are happy to help.

Interesting to know

In 2016 the BAföG rate as well as the allowed income rate of parents will rise by 7%. Due to the new maximum monthly rate of  € 735, students have more money for rent, food and learning materials. Moreover, the allowed income rate of parents is higher. This means that students still qualify for BAföG funding even if their parents earn up to 7% more money a year.
