First-year students under 25 who previously received social benefits or were in child and youth welfare can apply for a one-time study start-up aid of 1,000 euros. The application is digital and must be submitted by the end of the month following the start of studies.
The grant is non-repayable. The aid is aimed at easing the financial burden on students from low-income families.
This initiative has been praised for its support by the DSW Executive Board Chairman, Matthias Anbuhl, although he criticizes the slow pace of digitalization and calls for a faster digitalization of the Bafög process for efficient disbursement.
