5 good reasons for BAf\u00f6G<\/h3>
\n\t
    \n
  1. Half of it is free!<\/strong> - No matter how much BAf\u00f6G you receive, half of it is a gift. So if you receive \u20ac500 per month, \u20ac250 is a gift that does not have to be paid back.<\/li>\n
  2. Built-in debt brake<\/strong> - regardless of how much BAf\u00f6G you receive, you will never have to pay back more than \u20ac10,010.<\/li>\n
  3. Interest-free loan<\/strong> - there is no interest to drive up the amount. With BAf\u00f6G, you only have to pay back half of what you received.<\/li>\n
  4. More time for your studies<\/strong> - If you have to work less and think less about your finances, you can concentrate better on your studies.<\/li>\n
  5. No stress when paying back!<\/strong> - The first repayment instalment is due at the earliest 5 years after the end of the maximum funding period. Yes, you can pay off your BAf\u00f6G in instalments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A small additional advantage<\/strong>: If you receive BAf\u00f6G, you can apply to be exempted from the licence fee. More information on exemption from the licence fee<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
