BAföG - study with social support
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Submitting an application is worthwhile!
It is particularly important for first-semester students to submit their first BAföG application as early as possible so that they can receive funding from the start of the semester.
Therefore, our advice to first-semester students: Do not wait until the beginning of the semester to apply for BAföG!
The Federal Training Assistance Act (BAföG) has been opening up educational opportunities for young people since 1971. BAföG supports students in completing a degree programme that suits their aptitudes and interests, depending on their family's financial situation.

The Studierendenwerk Darmstadt is responsible for
- Technische Universität Darmstadt (TU)
- Hochschule Darmstadt (h_da)
- Evangelische Hochschule Darmstadt (EHD)
- Wilhelm-Büchner-Hochschule
Note: Study programmes at the Wilhelm Büchner Hochschule that are offered in attendance form and full-time are eligible for BAföG funding. All other degree programmes are designed in such a way that they can be completed part-time. It is therefore not possible to receive funding for degree programmes at this university (§ 2 Para. 5 BAföG - funding only for full-time degree programmes).
The Studierendenwerk Darmstadt does not process student BAföG! Please direct enquiries to the responsible offices for educational support in the districts and cities. (e.g. district of Darmstadt: kreisverwaltung@ladadi.de or city of Darmstadt www.darmstadt.de/).
